Dogfish Head Festina Peche

Hey, I'm all about breaking the mold and venturing off into weird and crazy tangents. For instance, I believe the rumor that Barbara Bush is indeed the daughter of Aleister Crowley. Which isn't an odd postulate considering that the powers that be are all shape-shifting reptilian white martians. What I can't get into is ridiculousness. Which quite frankly this beer is. I mean, I like it well enough, but it's a malt punch. Sour, peachy and flat as formica. Tasty, sure. But where others see a perfect accompaniment with grilled chicken or feta (who are these fop reviewers on BA?) and the perfect sipper on a hot summer day, I find it closer related to a misfiring date rape potion than a fine malt beverage.

Couldn't agree more on this "pinche festivo" stuff. Reminded me of badly blended juice concentrate. Guess I'm just not hip enough. (I like their chicory stout and pumpkin ale, though.)

Yep, the name alone should scare a sane person off!
