\"\"When I first pulled the can out of the fridge, I immediately noticed the design of what appeared to be a woman looking in through a porthole, presumably underwater. My first thought was mermaid, but the rest of the can subtly looks like a barrel, and now it\u2019s kind of fucked up, because a woman is trapped inside of a barrel that just so also happens to have a porthole.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, it\u2019s an eye-catching design, and as someone who judges books by their covers, it\u2019s admittedly one that would make stop and examine if I were to come across this kind of can or bottle in a store.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the beer itself, I had a moment of pause when I saw that it was classified as \u201cGerman Pale Ale,\u201d because like I\u2019ve said numerous times, I don\u2019t know that much about the world of beer outside of drinking what I like to drink, so I see German pale ale and am really hoping that it\u2019s nothing like an India pale ale, because if there\u2019s one thing for sure is that I\u2019m not really a fan of IPAs at all because they\u2019re basically piss, so I\u2019m hoping that a GPA is nothing like them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, after pouring it into a glass and taking the first sip, it\u2019s definitely nowhere near the flavor or profile of an IPA. Honestly, I would\u2019ve imagined that this was a lager if I didn\u2019t look it up on BeerAdvocate for the proper name and source, and reading some of the cursory comments, I\u2019m clearly not the only one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure if this is common for other German pale ales, but I certainly like them way better than IPAs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, nine days in, woman in barrel bier fares well. It definitely lives on the upper half of my now-rankings, and it\u2019s got a pretty non-descript but light taste and body that was easy to drink, and I could easily envision myself drinking a couple of these if I were in an evening of drinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

I guess it also doesn\u2019t hurt that I had a particularly shitty work day, having been in meetings for six of the eight hours in my work day, some of them a little more invasive than others. But really that\u2019s where drinking really steps up into the routines of life.<\/span><\/p>\n
