Pool Shark Pale Ale
Mother Stewart’s Brewing Company

 

I picked this up after seeing Mother Stewart’s post about it on Instagram and loved design around it. I poured it into a pub glass. A pretty small head with a decent amount fo lacing. The beer is a pale, orange-yellow, with a slightly transparent matte haze. It sports aromas of citrus, specifically mango, and a sweet, sugar-coated stone fruit. With such a powerful and enticing aroma, I was expecting the same with the taste, but sadly, it’s a bit on the weak end. A good punch of sweet, citrus flavor on the front, quickly dissipates into an almost watery beer. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but contrary to what one mugshot expect after smelling the beer. This does make it easily drinkable though! The beer feels very refreshing and crisp and sits very light. Overall I think this would be a great “poolside summer sipper” like the can suggests, but is a bit held back by it’s weak body.
