Surreal N/A Chandelier Red IPA.
0.4 % ABV. 48 IBU. "Only 33 calories! 0 g Sugar!"
Crafted and distributed by Surreal Brewing, Campbell, CA.
So, I got some samples of a new N/A brewery that has entered our market, and vowed to try them out. Here are the notes on the first of the four.
Opaque, reddish brown color, long-lasting beige-ish head.
In the nose: Fruity, malty, herbal. Slight hops. Eh.
In the mouth: Oh, boy. Some hops, mostly malt, but not good. This does not work as a beer, N/A or otherwise. Flat, metallic, whatever flavors there might be do not in any way hang together as a whole. And they are also not good flavors. Flat-out terrible. An unpleasant mess. God awful. Blech. Drainpour.
Warning: Do not go near.
Chandelier Red IPA has refreshing notes of peach and mango that are well-balanced by a caramel malt backbone. It pours a crimson red with a light tan head. Triple hopped with a six malt blend, this brew has a complex character that finishes crisp and dry. It pairs well with fish tacos, grilled burgers, and spicy eats.
Much of the above is lies. It pairs well with nausea and despair.
