Circle Cutter
Little Beast Brewing

Is this some kind of zymurlogical joke? The smell is unreal and I think of grease cutters and stainless steel cleansers. Some kind of chemical solvent. I am convinced this is dangerous to drink, though if Zythophile survived that's a relief. The tiniest sip attacks the taste buds and that unbelievable smell worms right into the brain. I am speechless.

If I was going to be charitable, I'd say they got a rotten pineapple with some moldy citrus and extracted the essence with soap bubble solution. A disgusting medicinal bitter aftertaste leaves me ready to chug some kefir to get the taste out of my mouth. This is the beer that reminds me it's already time to start making up my Worst Beers of 2022 list. From the 16 oz can, undated.

Can Date: none
Palate Contaminants: other beer

Slightly dark gold color, with a little bit of very fine head. It's nearly water-clear, which is really uncommon.

The smell has lots of pineapple, and it's obviously real, even if I was just repeating what's on the label. Orange and orange blossom are also plenty present, but overall it sorta gives me a papaya vibe. I can smell the sweet, and I think bitter is trying to break through.

Yep, it's juice beer. Oddly, even with the fairly heavy presence of citrus, it's not even papaya, it's blueberry. I can't wrap my head around why, that's simply what I'm tasting. Maybe it's because raw blueberries are more tart than sweet, but that doesn't explain everything else. Whatever it is, it's interesting.

Slightly prickly carbonation that needs a swish to show up. Blueberry and pineapple in the aftertaste. Medium-thin weight. Mildly acidic.
