Schmohz Pickle Tink

12 oz bottle from Party World on Alpine, Grand Rapids, MI. Cloudy, yellow with small white head. Aroma is gross, just gross with dry grain and a weird sour vegetale note, I can’t imagine that they really put pickles in it but it is slightly vinegary. Vinegar flavor up front with vegetale, grain and some sweeter fruit, like strawberry or other red tropical fruit. Light and watery body. This is bad in so many ways. Ugh... definite drain pour.

12oz Bottle. This smells royally fucked up. When I cracked the bottle, I wasn’t sure if someone had broken a jar of pickled beans on my floor or they were manufacturing styrofoam. Putting the nose dangerously close to the glass, I get a very pungent and acidic mix of pickled vegetables, tending towards Jalapeno, Watermelon, and popcorn. Weird. Pours a clearish hazy gold, with a thin white rim. I’m afraid to drink this. In the mouth, its even worse. Oh god. Did I just drink four day old stale pickled egg juice? Did someone put a cigarette out in this? Or did an old lady die? The description for this beer says, "No one seems to remember if the name, the logo or the recipe came first, but it was ridiculous." Try revolting. Who would make and bottle this? Sulphur, vinegar, and ash. Not beer, really. Oh my god. If there really are pickles in this beer, and I think there are, then, well...that’s just fucked up.

on tap at the brewery...cloudy yellowish body with medium white head..aroma of light sugar and strawberry..hints of wheat in the finish..the strawberry that was ever-present in the nose was more absent in the flavor, emphasizing just subtly its fruit....it tasted more like strawberry leaves than the fruit itself, but was very true to strawberry notes (all natural)..nice summer brew

Rating #1700.
On tap at Schmohz. Described as "the ridiculously good beer," with a label featuring a smiling pickle and strawberries. Very peculiar. Anyway, the body was cloudy light yellow-orange, topped by a thin off-white head. The aroma was light and sweet, with grassy hops and light, fresh strawberry. Sadly, the body was thin to the point of flavorless, and what was there didn’t come together well. A touch of wet socks and sour astringency paired with the light strawberry skin flavors. It seems like there’s a base that can be improved on here, though. The concept of a light summer beer with a touch of strawberry is a refreshing one, particularly on an 86 degree May day.
