What's up guys? Double review today,
Angel City Brewery shipped off
a couple different brews over to
us that we wanted to crack open
and try for you guys. So here
we are. Gary, what are we drinking
today? Alright, I have Angel City’s
Avocado Ale. This thing is a Kolsch
style ale with california-grown
avocados, honey, cilantro, and lime
juice. So they do this as a limited
run for their seventh annual avocado
festival and it is sitting at 4.5%
12 IBUs, 5 SRM. I'm excited to crack
it open. What do you got there?
I’ve got their Pineapple Saison. This one is
6.8%, 20
IBUs, 9 SRM. Just a pretty standard
Saison, but just with bright hits
of pineapple on this one. So I
think it could be pretty straightforward.
Sounds good. We'll find out. Yeah,
let's crack ‘em open.
All righty a little on the hazy
side there. Sweet on the nose, yeah.
Very sweet on the nose. I’ve got pepper & tropical.
Much lighter than I expected. I
mean is it Kolsch style but body
is extremely thin and that sweetness
does carry throughout, a tad bit
of earthiness as well. But you
can imagine comes from some of
these ingredients: avocado, lime
juice, cilantro. It kind of has
like a nice sweet bouquet on it
with a tad bit earthiness and extreme
drinkability. This goes down very
very smooth. Yeah. I think I'd
say probably the same thing about
the Pineapple Saison. It’s
got nice spiciness, earthy, but
bright from the pineapple. The pineapple
really kind of cuts through all
that brings it a nice little sweet
tropicalness to it. But at the
end of day very easy drinking it's
not overwhelming. It's very much
in the vein of a traditional Saison
just a little hint of pineapple
just to let you know that it's
there. I love the appearance on
this beer. Yes, like nice, bright
golden color. So would you pick
it up?
Would I pick this beer up on a hot
day like today? Absolutely. I think
this thing is nice and fruity and
is very drinkable. Nice lookin
can too, and I like yeah, really nice
local artists did the can for
this one. So loving that Angel City kind of
pairs up with local artists out there and gives them some
love on this can design. So on this Avocado Ale
I'd say just in terms of the
beer itself, it's fine. You could
go either way on it. But if you're
looking for a light bright easy
drinking ale to drink during the
summer that's a little bit different
brewed with some of these crazy ingredients.
Maybe you're having some people
over, you want to give them something
that maybe they’ve never had before
yeah very unique. For that reason,
I would definitely recommend this
beer. So yeah, not too bad. So
now what happens if we blend them
That sounds like a bad idea. Don't
blend them. Don't put them together
That’s your review.
