(Hits and) Misses

Northwest Brewing Company Mango Weizen

The label says Mango Weizen. To me, it tastes like neither a mango, nor a weizen. The label also says it's on clearance, and now you know why I bought it. It wasn't even good enough to take a picture of it, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

New Belgium Pear Ginger Beer Contains Alcohol

The new Belgium one on the other hand has a beautiful printed bottle. I love the Lips of Faith series, as has been evidenced by previous posts. It doesn't really taste like pear, but there is definitely a ginger kick. It doesn't work that well, but it's all right. If you really sniff hard it kinda smells like pears. And the bottle says it contains alcohol, which it definitely does, though mercifully it does not taste too much like alcohol. Anyway, this is decent but not great: a bummer, because it's on the pricy side, but when you use adjuncts such as those, the end result is just going to cost more. New Belgium's Lips of Faith is sometimes a bit hit or miss, and this one I just have to pass on.
