In retrospect, it should have been obvious that I was setting myself up for disaster when I ordered a pint of this pale wheat ale brewed with fresh strawberries. Why? Well the 100 pounds of fresh strawberries contributed by an Oregon Trader regular could only have been supplied in June. That’s where fresh strawberries come from. They come from June.

Yet here it was St. Patrick’s Day, some nine months after this beer was brewed, and it was still being served on draught. The refreshing summer seasonal this beer ought to have been was instead a disastrous serving of pure spoilage – a vile drain pour that should have been sacrificed as a lost cause months ago and withheld from public consumption. I accept the fact that beer is a perishable product with a limited shelf life. That’s how beer is. But if a brewer still insists on serving it publicly after the poor thing has died, I for one will show no mercy.

A titanic disaster.
