Mavericks Alection Winner Obama '08 Presidential Ale - Half Moon Bay Brewing Co - 2/5Obviously the name and label attracted me to this one. I really don’t have anything positive to say about this beer other than it clearly did not resemble an ale or winner as the name would have you believe.
I really wanted to like it but I think the only thing going for it was the label. It seemed overly carbonated and somewhat bland in flavor.
The 3rd finger you see in this rating is appropriately placed as an F-You for poor execution to what could have been great. If Half Moon Bay Brewing Co were smart they would have made this beer a light brown ale or porter with class and charisma .. at least something which resembles its namesake. Perhaps McCain Loser Lager would have been more appropriate for this one?
My comment disappeared! It was, "Palin Pilsner?"
