Mmmm. Beer.

This comes from a collection of beer that promises to be unique. Really. Truly, stuff I've never had before.

And I've never had anything like this before.

It's a strange brew, made from fresher (8-month old) ale mixed with older (18-month old) ale. It's like a sour kick in the face, starting at the tongue, crashing through the palette, and leaving the nasal passages in confusion, before making a quick getaway down the gullet.

It's refreshing, certainly. It tastes a bit of apple cider vinegar, which sounds kinda gross in a beer, but is really unique (as promised, I guess). It's surprisingly drinkable. I imagine it would go wonderfully with a nice dark chocolate mousse, or even just vanilla ice cream.

Don't get it if you don't like odd drinks.
