Let’s Take a Jaunt

Odell-JauntThis beer (?) was described to me as an “Ale with Riesling”… Well, that’s new to me. I’m very much starting on my craft beer journey, so the action of mixing wine and beer is alien.

So as I put my nose to the rim of my glass, I was apprehensive – unsure what to expect. (Which I’ve found to be the best approach to beer tasting.) The smell that hit my nose was that of a floral/funky smell – like Tank 7’s classier sister … Damn you, Tank 7, you keep coming back to haunt me!

As soon as the wine-beer (beer-wine?) hit my lips … Well, it was skunky, hoppy, and bitter. I definitely tasted the wine-y/acidic taste at the beginning and then the taste turned into what I can only describe as a rubber band that had been soaked in old fruit water.

I probably wouldn’t drink this again unless someone bought it for me; and that’s only because you should never turn down a free beer – even if it is Tank 7.

The awesome people from this blog pretty much adopted me... mostly because I wouldn't leave them alone. I absolutely couldn't image my life without being a part of the craft beer scene; I worked for the government (you can imagine how that went) and wasn't happy at all. I started writing for this website and meeting people in the beer community. Then I quit my well paying and stable job! Now I work with people I enjoy in a job that is fun and opens people's eyes to new things! I wouldn't have gotten here without KC Beer Scouts. They have opened my eyes to weird beers and unique people. Guys, let me tell you, whether you're new to the craft beer scene or an experienced brewer: getting in to craft beer has been one of the most fun and fulfilling things I've ever done. My goal for my reviews is to get people inspired to try new beers they'd never think to try and to get people interested in the craft beer community! Keep this in mind: Everyone is different and unique in their own way; Embrace that.
