Holiday Beer Review – 5 Golden Rings from The Bruery
On to the 2nd half of my The Bruery 12 Days of Christmas.
Five Golden Rings. Yup. Pineapple juice and lots of it in this one. The spices that the label portends are not there or way hidden in the background and boy would they have helped flesh out this beer. I feel this beer could use a rum or tequila barrel to add a cocktail twist or a little heat to warm up the fruit. Right now it is just one note. A note that has held up really well by the way. But I could not finish my glass of this one. Too much tropical sweet for me.
