Found a 6-pack of this yesterday, should be interesting
On a related note, I wasn't overwhelmed by the Sculpin. It's obviously well-crafted beer, very complex and nicely hoppy, just not in my flavor profile. A little too much fruit for my tastes.
Morning, muchachos.
Then definitely stay away from the Grapefruit Sculpin.
That's what I was thinking, though I do like grapefruit.
I like grapefruit as well. I also like beer. Two completely different things which should remain separate in a sane world.
At the grocery store last week they were offering samples of, “Not Your Father’s Root Beer” beer?" The first thing I thought of was, years ago at the bar they would drop a shot of Root Beer Schnapps into your mug of draught beer and called it a Root Beer Float. I like beer, and I like root beer, but I don't like them together...
Got some of that myself recently (liquor store was rationing to only 2 six packs per person). It's actually very good. Don't think beer, think Root Beer soda but 5.8% ABV. If you are expecting beer it will come across as too sweet. For me I thought it was a less carbonated, creamier mouth feel than most Root Beers. You can't detect the alcohol at all, so I'm surprised it hasn't taken much heat from the peanut gallery. Sounds like something you would like to get for the little lady Dad!
That's funny because my wife hates root beer with a passion...! When we were kids, I had a beat up '65 VW bug and we would cruse around town. Every time we would pass an A&W Root Beer Stand I would beg her to let me stop in there. This went on for a years. Finally I said, "Why can't we stop at A&W...?" She said, "Because I hate root beer." I said, "Well, get an orange soda or some thing else...!!!" She said, "Oh.." We ended up having a big fight over it, because I went a year with out my root beer..! ugghhhhhh
