McCall Brewing Company

Taster at brewery. Medium amber, soft, foamy head. Mild malty aroma. Taste picks up with some hoppy notes, bitter and stinging. Caramel, sweet, then bitter.

hands down the worst beer i had while i was in, even the bartender didnt like it, and he was an enthusiast of the place. this is sweet, metallic, and cheap tasting, it has something chemical about it and really off in the fermentation, lots of positives on the build, but what when it comes to overall execution, and frankly the only beer in here that seemed amateur. they could either do away with this or reinvent it, and nobody would know or miss it. its pale for the style, without an obvious english character either in yeast or grain, just done too hot overall maybe, but its not great. some honey and granola thing going on with the mash. baked but cheap to me, almost a molten plastic thing, and overall this just seems off, weak, and like the most forgettable brew in their lineup, and im pretty sure i had them all while i was in tonight. weighty, sweet, and lousy on the ferment, not something i would go back to or recommend. everything else here as at least tolerable, but i wont be having any more of this one... bad batch i hope...
