Honey Bear
Martin House Brewing Company

This is an excellent sour. Jalopeno is the dominant flavor to the point the beer smells like a freshly sliced jalopeno.

 

Another version of their standard sour, to which they add all kinds of interesting things. The results are mixed, but generally pretty good. However, it's not all that easy to predict from the label exactly how good or bad the beer will be.

Now this particular evolution on the theme is quite a standout, so much that my gf got a keg of it, and has another on the way.

The aroma is penetrating and powerful, making the entire house smell like jalapeños. It keeps on going too.

The first sip is so-so on taste, but it quickly grows on you. After two glasses it's almost poundable.

Carbonation is light, and it's not really much to look at once the head goes down.

Overall, I recommend picking up at least a single , to marvel at the smell if nothing else.

 

This beer is just not my thing. It it has its good points. First the smell of jalapeños is distinct and strong. When the can was open, I thought someone had ordered a plate of pickled jalapeños at the restaurant my wife and I had stopped. The smell certainly goes into the taste which was indeed sour and vegetable- like with some pineapple and honey background.
