A friend suggested I do a Rorschach test. Fair enough, I have my peccadillos and idiosyncrasies, but I wasn’t sure how an ink blot of a butterfly (or is it a wolf devouring Mickey Mouse) would provide insight into my character and its few and far-between flaws. They said, “No, what I meant was you should do a review of a Rorschach beer, a taste test”. I was somewhat relieved to hear that as I still have anxieties about taking tests which go back to my lack of preparation prior to exams in my schooldays.
Rorschach Kicking Ass and Taking Names
Some may think of psychoanalysis when they hear the word Rorschach (which happens to be word association) but for me I think of the book “Watchmen”* and one of the principal characters, Rorschach. A down on his luck, somewhat unhinged former super hero who wears an ink blot like mask that morphs constantly, and although the rest of the superhero crew are retired, he still kicks ass, literally.
Then there is the name of this beer, “Truth Serum”, which ensured it wouldn’t make it on to Ottawa retail shelves.** I guess a lot of politicians aren’t interested in being set free.***
This sporty shorty poured crazy hazy mango with a slim trim head shrink. A hoppy zingy aroma with fruit for sure. It tastes tropical fruit, fruity and fruitful with a mild funky finish and a slight bitter aftertaste. Very tasty. The fruit tropics body gained even more flavour and came with an abrupt crisp finish and no more bitters. This is a very tasty double IPA acting like a juicy hazy. And that’s the truth.
