Worst. Beer. Ever.

Steve came for a visit so we took him into Boston to see the sights.  One of our stops was Fenway Park.  As long as we were there we stopped across the street at Boston Beer Works for some dinner.  The beer served there is brewed locally and can get a little...creative, but they offer a pretty good description in the menu so you know what you're getting.  For example Watermelon Ale, with a "natural watermelon essence," doesn't sound good.  I played it safe.

Haymarket Hefe-Weizen: A German-style wheat beer brewed with authentic Weizen yeast producing a beer with a spicy flavor and aroma.  Sounds pretty good, right?  It's at least safe, no crazy fruit.

After one sip I was confused.  What is this flavor I'm tasting?  It couldn't be.

I had Ben taste it, he tasted the same thing (without me offering a suggestion).

Maybe we're crazy.  That's just not something you put in beer.  So Steve had a taste and came up with the same ingredient.  Bananas.

Why would you ruin a perfectly good beer by making it taste like bananas?  And why would you not warn people in the menu that they were getting BANANA beer!?!  What kind of person thinks describing banana flavor as a "spicy flavor" serves as an accurate description?  It was okay at first, weird, but okay.

After sipping about 1/3 of it I definitely didn't like it.  I felt bad though so I wanted to make it look like I didn't hate it; I had to drink 3/4 of it then I could pretend I was full and couldn't finish.  By half-way I actually shuddered with every drink and I was chasing it with food to cover up the flavor.  I managed to get it down to about 1/3 left and had to quit.

I don't even think Ojo could drink it.
