But this beer is just completely awful. It pours a strange russet beige colour with a murky haze, even with the majority of sediment retained in the bottle – along with half a clove of garlic, floating around like a dead fish in an aquarium.
The aroma is all garlic, that instantly recognisable smell of Italian or Asian food. There’s some sourness in there as well – but that obviously doesn’t make it any more appealing. Strangely the first taste isn’t that strong – there’s a vague mustiness that reminded me of composting vegetable matter. Then, however, the garlic hits and dominates the flavour and the aftertaste. It certainly doesn’t disappoint, if that’s what you were after – if it was meant as a novelty then fair enough, but as a drinkable beer it falls short on every level.
