Barn Town Brewing Co. Gluten Free Peanut Butter And Jelly Sour

“Bombastic strawberry aroma and flavor assault the senses in a good way, like a sweet, strawberry daiquiri, without a hint of alcohol. This is mock-daiquiri served at prom. A sugary, strawberry Starburst in liquid form. The mango flavors are promptly pushed to the back of the line. A semi-smoothie beer in appearance, texture, mouthfeel, and flavor. They forgot the sour (and the beer!). Ends in a cotton candy–like finish that stays on the tongue.”

“A sweet grapefruit, tropical-fruit, candied-orange, pine aroma. Substantial malt, but still hop-forward with green herbs, pine, lemon drops. Firm bitterness is balanced with spicy alcohol notes. The finish has strong grapefruit notes, so while the beer starts with an impression of sweetness, that vanishes at the end.”

__Aroma:__ “Peanuts, light toasty notes, touch of malt sweetness, light raspberry fruitiness, light earthy hops. Smells like a PB&J sandwich.” __Flavor:__ “Peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich with the crust on. Big peanut in the start, light raspberry in the finish, touch of vanilla, moderate toasty, touch of earthy/wheat notes, thin-medium body, big mouthfilling carbonation. Raspberries come through as a light adjunct but do not provide much for complexity outside of initial flavor. Aftertaste: PBJ with the crust, moderate peanut, moderate toasty, touch of raspberry jam, light bitterness. A little light bodied but all elements are there. Finishes sweet but not too sweet.” __Overall:__ “If you want a PB&J (with the crust on) in a glass, this is it. Well executed, easy to drink beer that reminds me of childhood watching cartoons after school. The mixture between raspberries and peanuts hit the mark if they were going for PB&J, although it is somewhat muddled in the balance of the flavors.”
