What's the ABV? Screw you! That's what the ABV is! Yeah, we'll tell you what kind of hops we used, what other brewer we collaborated with, and we'll even tell you what you should think of the beer. Hell! We'll even tell you what size the can is, for any idiot who can't tell what a 12-ounce standard can looks like. But ABV is a closely guarded secret that we couldn't possibly let get out. Well, Yazoo, I found out it was 4.7% ABV, and I will shout it from the rooftops! Your plan is foiled.
First sip is crisp, but the lingering attempt from the spices is not really working for me. At least the skunk that was in the aroma isn't there in the drink. Instead, the malt is a bit flat, and the spiciness of the hops is resultingly a bit overpowering for the rest of the beverage. What I wanted was a nice, pillowy bread malt, and I didn't get it. Maybe a full swig will bring it out.
Tip-in is minimal carbonation with a dull thud of a malt and rising spice. The middle becomes a carbonation-lined bed of pita bread with spices tingling here and there very nicely. The finish is another dull thud where the carbonation is gone, the flat bread is uninspired, and the hops aren't really doing much more than bringing bitterness.
Bottom Line: There's something in there, but it's go too much other stuff around it.
1.75/5
