Coney Island Albino Python
White Lager Brewed with Spices
6% ABV
Serving – Bottle: 1 pint, 6 ounces
$5.00
Aroma
Most striking aroma is akin to old-timey bubblegum – the kind that isn’t fruit flavored. There are definite spices as well.
Appearance
Cloudy, golden – like a typical wheat (although typical this is not).
Taste
There is a taste which reminds me of middle-eastern spiced bubblegum. In fact, this beer has an intriguing mix of spices which dominate the flavor of the beer. It is an easy drinker, and it is not as sweet as some hefes. Perhaps due to lagering, the typical flavor profile of normal wheat beers seems to be replaced with bright spices. This strikes me as the ultimate summer beer. Even as I sip, on the couch and in the middle of winter, I can imagine being out in the warm summer sun – perhaps even at a carnival. My one wish would be little more carbonation and/or head retention. The head fell quickly, but the beer did remain light and effervescent.
Would I buy it again?
For now, I would choose this one as my go to summer beer.
