Names Are Hard
Voodoo Brewing Co.

 

Fully opaque maize with a short white blanket dying to a fine chain leaving tiny white spots on the surface.

This one's got a lot of punch for its relatively lighter ABV. Spicy and even aspiriny and a little chalky, its citrus notes verge into triple sec with light cannabic accents. It's even a little minty and herbal, with a touch of shortbread malt, but not enough to reduce its bite.

The medium-light body is slick with a sharp carbonation finishing cotton dry, exhaling a hint of peanut.

 

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about fifteen dollars. Have never heard of this brewery before. Best by date of ?/2019. PA brew is usually solid, so rolled the dice. Pretty decent, nothing special...would like to know when it was brewed....

 

$ 4.00 (Including tax)/16 oz can ($0.25/oz) from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA. Reviewed 10/22/19.
Undated can. In reefer at store, stored upside down and served at 42 degrees.
Appearance – 4.
First pour – Light yellow, hazy.
Body – Dirty yellow, murky.
Head – Large (Maximum six cm, aggressive center pour), off-white, medium density, average duration, diminishing to a five to twenty mm irregular crown with a thick partial cap. Large pieces of lacing remain on the sides of the glass after the head retracts.
Lacing – Good. Irregular narrow three-dimensional bands of tiny to small bubbles, connected to the next band by thin columns to form an open reticulum
Aroma – 4 – Weak citrus mixed with weaker geomin and hints of melon.
Flavor – 3.5 – More of simcoe hops than the citra or mosaic although the citra is prevalent in the belches. No alcohol (6.9% ABV) flavor or aroma, no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 3 – Thin, watery, soft carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.25 (-0.25 point for undated personal container). Yet another beer admonishing me to “Drink Fresh” but failing to tell me when it’s fresh. This smells and looks like a New England IPA but fails to deliver in the taste or palate departments. Typical of Voodoo, overpriced and underflavored.
