A Beer Named Sue
The Prodigal Son Brewery

 

Draft at brewery. Nice grain bill provides smooth flavor and velvety mouth feel. Pale golden with soft silky white head, curtains of lacing. Tasty stuff.

they had some flavored beers in here, i think a huckleberry one, a raspberry one, anyway, it makes me wonder if they use real fruit and craft beers to them or do the alternative, this seems like extract in the same base, and worst of all, its not even intentionally fruited, its borderline residual line or even wrongly poured beer here, but it still has some things to like and note, like the ferment is dry and simple and out of the way and good, and its not hoppy at all, like not even a little bit, and the grain side runs the show but also almost tastes like nothing, even tainted, if that makes sense. its about how bright it feels, and how simple, and the carbonation saves it from old fruit beer line and brings it to a place of lively and fun and intentional. blackberry is it? who can tell. anyway, it seems almost corn based, easy but not irrelevant. no need to even add anything to this, its a fine base blonde type and while maybe not something worth traveling far for, its solid, and the whole vibe here is cool and worth some miles. a ripper in high summer even if imperfect...
