Name: Coney Island Freaktoberfest
Brewer: Shmaltz Brewing Company (San Francisco, CA)
Classification: Amber Ale
Alcohol: 6.66%
Thoughts: This beer is a gimmick. The alcohol content is the mark of the beast, it pours a bright red, and even the bottle says it is a gimmick. I guess you have to take this beer with an open mind. If you are feeling like a beer snob then the unnatural reddish tint, uncomfortably fruity smell and unbalanced alcoholic and bitter taste will make you hate this beer. But if you are looking for a fun beer to drink on Halloween then look no further. It has the color of blood, the smell of candy and the sugary, malty taste that could complete your spooky evening. I tried to base it on my experience which was watching soccer at home while surfing the internet and I can totally see both sides. If you have a few extra bucks it is worth a try, but other than that I would leave it alone.
Rating: 73/100
