#60 - Rudgate Brewery - Cousin Marynka
This is one of the most peculiar beers I've ever tried. In an extremely light 'lager style' hand-pull, the predominant flavor is that of burnt malt. Needless to say it is far from pleasant. Next comes a big batch of hops, to which I am largely indifferent, but which do not go nearly far enough to remove the intitial bitter burnt flavor. This is then warped by a bizarrely bitter vanilla aftertaste. Very strange. At 3.9% it could be an ideal session beer, but really, why would you? This is a poor brew through and through and I was happiest learning that it was a limited edition. If you are out to try every beer you can, give it a go. If you are out to enjoy the beer you drink, avoid it. 3/10
