On-tap at Callahan's, San Diego.

Not quite sure if this is a one-off or a rotating release. It's effectively their pale ale, but with a bunch of those scary, radioactive, pink candy Peeps melted and dumped in during the brewing process! It pours what I can only describe as a clear pinkish-amber color with a decent white head. Aroma is like an artificially sweetened APA... taste is similar. It's really not bad, but a bit unsettling. Light- to medium-bodied and pretty smooth; decent drinkability as well (the Peep-sugars tend to fade into the background after a bit). Still, more of a novelty than anything really worthwhile.

On-tap at Callahan's. A pale ale brewed with Peeps, this should be interesting...

A: The beer is a strange looking dark pink color with a paler pink foam on top. Some hints of lacing around the glass.

S: I was amazed by the nose on this beer. A really intense hit of grapefruit and pine hops without much in the way of malt. Perhaps just a hint of sugar.

T: The hop flavor is not quite as intense as I would have hoped for after smelling this beer, but still a really nice grapefruit character. This one is a touch sweet and sugary, presumably from the Peeps, with a nice bitterness on the finish.

M: A medium bodied beer with a moderate carbonation and a crisp finish, helped out by the piney bitterness.

D: What can I say, a gimmicky beer that's actually pretty damn good. This sounds like one of Charlie P's screwy homebrew recipes (maybe it is?), but I'd definitely drink this again.
