It was Ron Burgundy, anchorman of fame and infamy, and a classic classless ass who ironically uttered those words every night “You stay classy San Diego”. Is Bellwoods doing a tip of the tankard to Will Ferrell’s alter ego? * Or are they simply implying that by drinking a beer with alcohol in it we tend to get less classy? That would be based on the assumption that we are classy sober, and if that’s what they assume, then let me assure you they don’t know the cranky old men that well. I would venture to say that the cranky old men could possibly be classier after a few brewskis, or at least less cranky.
So here we are again ignoring the good doctor’s advice and participating in another zero percent experiment.** This brew starts out on the right foot with an orange golden hazy body and a thick white head, looks like class in a glass. Pineapple juicy hoppy nose smells very tasty. So far we have every indication that this is a real IPA. The first taste is a bit of fizzy fruit juice, no real hops or bitters, but quite a dry crisp aftertaste. With each successive swig the juice fades leaving behind a very light watery juice drink. What started out as a very light alright juicer of an IPA turned into a Bubly (or is that Bublé)..
The good news is this one doesn’t have any offensive or odd off tastes that many zeroes seem to possess or be possessed by. If you really want a low cal, low alcohol, IPA and you tend to be far less classy after a few real brews, then this pseudo brew might be for you.
