After dropping my daughter off this past weekend I had some stuff to do around the house and decided to pick up a 6 pack to drink while I did chores. I try to grab something new to try that way I'm not stuck in a loop of delicious yet predictable Budweiser. This time my selection was Mudshark's Full moon Belgian style white ale.
Brewed in Lake Havasu, Arizona, which pleased me to discover that it was a local brewer. i had picked it up at a Fry's so I'm sure they have it at BevMo! in the phoenix area
but I'm not sure on how far this company ships to. I was relatively shocked by how smooth it is and the fact that there is a rather pleasant after taste and that the company was able to accomplish this without adding in a fruit that would ruin the beer. I powered through my first one while vacuuming and going worked on my second, and pleased to discover it wasn't getting old and was still enjoyable. If I had to compare it to another beer I would put it somewhere around the drinkability of an Amber Bock or a Killians Irish Red. Two hours later I had punished 4 beers and went to work on my 5th, shortly after that I realized that things were becoming slightly more difficult to accomplish, in other words.....I was shit faced.
So here comes my warning that comes with this beer. it is a 8.9% alcohol and obviously a sipping beer not meant to be treated the way I was trying to.
I would definitely recommend this beer to people trying to get into something new but not ready for something as strong as the stone arrogant bastard or a Guinness. all together I would say
3.5 out of 5 on the taste scale, on my "ninja drunk scale" I give this bad boy a 4, it sneaks up on you amazingly fast.
Side note: This beer was responsible for one of the best drunk naps I've ever had.
