Beer Friday. Alley Kat Brewing, Blue Lagoon Blue Raspberry Gose


Just in line with that donut eating walking tub of gravy last ride post except without a bike ride I did nothing today. I had intentions of a good ride and made the pre ride spaghetti and sat down with way too much and ate it all. Why? Cause it's beyond delicious ladies and gentlemen. 

*again, pats self on back

So in the end I ate too much spaghetti and had to have a nap after. Oh My Lord, my wife is right, I am turning into Homer Simpson

This beer was donated by a fine fellow from the previous job I was at which I quit in Feburary. Wait... hold on. That is my birth month and I still don't know how to spell Febuary. Aww shit, red line again. Well dad blasted am I ever an idiot. 

February. Boom! It's that damn r that gets me every time. 

I cannot find much info on this release and almost everytime Google is used to look up a beer that Untapped beer site comes up. It is apparently a social network for beer drinkers. Yep, pretty fuckin weird if you ask me but being the big time beer reviewer and all.. Should I consider a membership at Untapped?  

We went to the beer pouring room and knew this was going to be a cool pour and it delivered. They say it pours a blue colour but It looked to me more like a dirty green. When I put a light onto it I got a few Mountain Dew vibes so I don't know. I mean my eyes could be shot, they have been abused over the years so who knows what I'm seeing. This will pour an immense head if you are not careful and we ended up with a decent chubby two fingered head. Nice. 

Is it brilliant blue as they say? I'm gonna Google brilliant blue now and compare. 

Nope. Not even close.

It has a definite sour tone to it as you smell it which matches the looks and took me back to the days of going to the corner store and picking out the sour gummies.  I was intrigued by the smell greatly making me excited to try this one. The taste hits you with citrus and sour gumballs. This one is sour but it's not too bad and a couple could probably be had back to back.

Alley Kat really nailed it with this one as it is very cool and enjoyable. Unless of course you don't like things that are sour then the no fun bus is waiting for you.

This beer gets 4 suds out of 5.
