All pretzel, no crunch…made with wheat, barley and 10# of Shuey’s pretzels, giving a malt backbone of bread, biscuit, and toast with a color reminiscent of a freshly baked pretzel. Finishes with a pinch of saltiness to complete the experience. 4.5% ABV 12 IBU

Poured and enjoyed at the West Reading Motor Club, ducking a thunderstorm with my wife celebrating Anniversary #24...

I tried this on tap at the brewery served chilled in a pint
The color is dark brown with translucent clarity and head that quickly dissipates. The smell is malty with a slight toasted bread aroma. The feel is good if a little thin considering it has a high amount of carbonation and light roast in the feel.
The taste is decent with malt having the toast that is hinted at in the nose with a slight yeast however it is mostly clean with effervescence scrubbing away a lot of the malt taste as it finishes very dry. Overall not bad, but I would probably order something else unless I was looking for a light bodied brew to follow something heavy it is sort of by the numbers

This is a new favorite beer of mine. No only is it unique but the taste was distinct - exactly like a soft pretzel. Never had anything like it and in that regards gets a 5 star rating from me for uniqueness and perfect smooth taste!!! Now they just need to distribute in Rhode Island :)

Served on draft at Snitz Creek Brewery. Light golden body, akin to what you'd expect for style. Aroma is almost absent. Some doughy malts, wheat and biscuit. Simply put, the flavor just tastes like a basic Pale Wheat Ale. The pretzel addition to this beer really just really did nothing for the flavor. Gimmicky and in my opinion not a good beer overall.
