Harpoon Camp Wannamango Pale Ale

Camp Wannamango Pale Ale: 3.5 – This tastes like mango if it was mixed with cereal. If that sounds sort of odd, not really great – well that’s because it is. It’s not an overall bad pale ale, but there’s really a missing component here of some bitterness or maybe a bit of lemon to add a nice sharpness to the flavor instead of having it seem sort of – soggy.

Price Average: $16.50 for mixed 12 pack cans

Dogfish Head/The Flaming Lips Collab ‘Dragons & YumYums’ Pale Ale

Dragons & YumYums: 6.5 – A few things to note before reviewing. Yes that collab is with the band, and this is a pale ale brewed with a combination of dragon fruit, yumberry, passionfruit, pear juice, and black carrot juice. Which coupled with the art implies that a lot is going on; however, and this is critical – this is NOT a sour.

There is a whiff of bitter, but overall it’s just over the top tropical. With that combo of ingredients and the color of the beer you’d expect it, but it’s truly a sour w/o the sour and just a nice pale ale stuffed with tropical fruit. It’s complex and delicious, and has a theme song?

Price Average: $14 for 6-pack

Green Flash Brewing ‘Cellar 3’ Baroque Belgique Pale Ale

Baroque Belgique Pale Ale: 3.0 – The side of the bottle says to open like a champagne bottle, what it really means is that as soon as that wire cap is loose, duck + cover. If that wasn’t an indication of the head be warned it’s a big dome, literally spent the first 10 minutes to get a glass, and you do have to wait because that head is bitter. The beer itself is very hoppy, a bit bitter, and you only get a twinge of that brettsour at the very tail end. Overall this is a miss.

Price Average: $13
