I like my blondes like I like my coffee... tasting like coffee. Bean Flicker by Odd Side Ales is sure to blow your mind a little. It's a blonde ale so it's translucent yellow in color but when you put it in your mouth your pallet is overcome with coffee. I don't know how they did it, but I'm glad they did. They removed all the gut heavy weight of a coffee stout but left the flavor and shoved it into a sessionable, easy drinking blonde. Perfect for a summer day and easy on the alcohol. Smooth on the pallet with light carbonation. A nose of vanilla, almost brownies. Pair this beer with more of these beers. They're tasty as hell. Cheers!
Short's Soft Parade. You've had it. Bitches love that shit. Unfortunately, however, they have no idea what they're drinking. They just "want something fruity that isn't really like a beer.". Au contraire, mon cheri, it's still very much a beer you're drinking. In fact, it's a rye beer so it's even more beer than you realize. Included in that rye wort is 200 pounds of pureed strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. On paper this is very much a beer but once it's in your face hole it feels more like a wine. At 7.5% abv this is still a kick in the groin region (that's right ladies, it's no longer 9%). Not the best fruit beer you could come across, especially if you live in the Mitten (the only place Short's distributes their beer to), but it sure is good. Guy's it's okay to order this beer too. Don't worry, you won't ever see your bartender roll his eyes at you. Cheers!
