Beer Reviews Plain and Simple

Elysian – Pandemonium

This is another U.S. Sour beer it has been cask conditioned for over four years. It has a husky almost bitter initial taste with just a small hint of sourness. The after taste really brings forth the sour part of this beer, also, the sour taste seems to longer for a good minute before it slowly dissaptes a way. As with all of the other sour beers I have tried it reminds me of an ale mixed with hard cider. It is a very refreshing beer that seems to cleanse the palate after each drink. For instance I started this beer with a plate of BBQ wings and after each wing I would take a sip and I could no longer really taste the wing I just had. Although it does nothing for the spicyness .  It is light in color and has no head to really speak of, I mean look at the head on the picture it is uber-thin.  Overall I would recommend this beer if you are a lover of sour beers or would like to try one.

The Good: smooth after taste, easy to drink with a very nice finish

The Bad: Comes in a small glass

Overall taste:  

Bitterness:  

Smoothness:  

Cheers!

P.S. If you are ever in the Greenlake area try out Tangletown which is where I had this.  It is owned by Elysian and they are pretty good beers there with decent food.
