Valentine's day is bullshit. It's just another manufactured holiday designed to sell stupid Hallmark cards. And, it doesn't take long for most people in a serious relationship to see that. But we're in love with beer over here, especially ones made by San Diego's Alesmith.
This reminds me of a more robust, floral, red IPA (like if Green Flash backed off on the hops in HHR). It's somewhere between a red IPA and an amber ale, I supposed, and it's quite remarkably balanced. The color almost perfectly matches the colors on the bottle label, too.
Even if they did make this year-round, I'm not sure I'd buy this regularly. Not that it's bad, it's just not a style I'd become obsessed with. But if you are a big fan, the high level of "drinkability" means you'll finish the bottle before you can unwrap your next V-day man sheath. And if you haven't heard, MBV have a new album out too. Pow pow.
I want this based on the artwork alone!
