I tried one. It was a hot day. I switched back to beer.
Yeah I'm sorry but if you live in the Pacific Northwest there is no excuse for not committing to craft beer.
I was at labrewatory today and a coworker handed me a pale coffee stout. I said fuck this don't like coffee stouts or stouts in general.
It tasted like a banana flavored pale ale [/b]and was fucking delicious.
Watermelon pale ale. Hazy IPA. Fuck the claw.
I hit up almost every brewery in Bend earlier this month. The shear competition in that area creates IPAs that are not the stereotype created for them.
This actually means it was almost certainly brewed poorly and had isoamyl acetate(an off flavor that tastes like bananas) in it. Sometimes you'll do that on purpose with a Hefe or something but I'd be amazed if they intentionally did it with a coffee stout.
The brewery only makes one time, experimental batches in collaboration with other breweries in Portland/Ore/SW WA.
