DOUGHNUT LEMON CHIFFON CRUELLER ~ ROGUE ALES
OK, I often like the ‘out-there beers’ – the more experimental brews, the one offs…but I have finally met a beer I did not like, and I am putting that mildly. Brewed only once is not necessarily a bad thing. Brewed as a Doughnut Ale, to match Voodoo Doughnuts Lemon Chiffon Crueller, this is a crazy concoction brewed with a plethora of ingredients, including lemon juice, marshmallow, and vanilla beans.
The beer poured an off brown colour. The nose contained lots as astringent synthetic lemon, resembling a mix of cologne and lemon cleaner. I took the first sip, hops, lemon pledge, and bubble gum with a strange marshmallow after taste. I though it may grow on me after a few sips. I tried. The flavour didn’t grow on me, quite the opposite. This one was a pricey sink pour. YUK!
