  Speaker 2: Good things. Not what I expected. Expect more apple or
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: more spice?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: More spice. I almost expected cinnamon spice type things. Take
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a sip.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I will. You're going to find it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Don't rush me.

  Speaker 3: You're going to find it. This thing is like perfect.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: The other one had a great head on it, too, man.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: This one's got a great head on it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Like, holy moly.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's actually really subtle.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It's quite spicy.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I'd actually say that the spice flavor is very subtle
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on this.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go overboard.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Right, but I'm just.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Is that what AI is telling you?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I'm just now pulling it up. It's 5% alcohol by volume,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: 13 IBUs, styles of fruit ale, spiced beer. We're almost
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going to be fresh apple cinnamon in warm baking spices.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Flavor is going to be mild apple sweetness with cinnamon
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and ginger snap notes.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Body, light body, refreshing, and fairly easy drinking.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It is quite light.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And the finish is going to be gentle cinnamon spice
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: without much hot bitterness.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: No bitterness. I would say, do you think it's quite thin? Like,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: say on the front. It's a little thin, I think.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's the head on it that's getting me. Or
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it's like blocking it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that, yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: But I like the spice on it. I like the spice.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Get a little bit of fruit. Maybe a little bit
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of apple. Not much. Very light on the apple.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So one interesting ingredient is majorum. Majorum? It's an herb
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: mostly used with savory cooking.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Oh. You do a lot of savory cooking? No, I don't.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But that's what the internet tells me. I made a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: hot pocket yesterday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's about as elaborate you can get at doing anything.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: God.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Lizzie's starting to order fried chicken and pizza all the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: time and whatever, like hamburgers. She's like, you're too skinny.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I'm going to fatten you up a little bit. So
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: she's not me completely. I'm like, I'm destroyed at this point.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I probably already put on like five or ten pounds.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. It's like, God, the beer was doing just fine.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You know, anyways. But now this is, it's okay.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: This is the debut year for it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's brand new. It says it right there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And it's only in this fall pack.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: The limited release.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: The Fall Legends Variety Pack.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yep. Get this at Kroger, Walmart, wherever for like, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: don't know, 18 bucks. I got this at Total Wine,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I think. Yeah, it was like 18 bucks. Yeah. Nothing crazy.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: But you get four different beers in there, three of
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: each beer.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's a great pack.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: If you're going to buy one, if you want to
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: drink them all yourself, that's fine. But it's a great
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: pack to share. That's what we always do with these things.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I'll send you home with one. I'll keep one here.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And then there's another one.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We'll have one together. We're having one now. So, yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it's great. It is a great pack. First, you're having
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: this one. And I said this in the last video,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and I'm totally right.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I am right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: The Hellish beer is better than this beer.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: You haven't had the Hellish yet this year.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I don't even know. It could be a turd in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that can. It's so good. You're like, ooh, it's kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of skunky.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You open it, and you go to pour it. It's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: not pouring. You got to get the draft top and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: pull it off, and it just clumps down.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You remember that damn Jell-O beer we had? I was like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: what the hell? They're like, yeah, you got to open it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You got to just rip it open completely. I go,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: that doesn't sound like beer. Not even a little bit.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It's like cranberry sauce.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's making that damn suction noise as it falls out.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: It's kind of thin. It's super light. It had a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: great head on it, right?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: It smells faint of apple, faint of spice.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: The spices there and the taste, the apple's very thin
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's expected more.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want it to be overpowering. I just want more.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I get a little apple spice. Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It's just very subtle with the flavor. It's just like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a little kiss on the cheek. Like, good night.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's it. That's all it is. Yeah. You know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: they all can't be bangers. They can't.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They can't.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: What was the one last year? Do you remember what
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the fourth one was? Was it blueberry something? No, that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the spring one, right?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It's in there with the porch rocker. That'd be kind
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of cool. All right, cheers.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: What do you think the average score on Untapped is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on this?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: This one? 2.75. Actually, you know what? It probably gets
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a discount. So 3.23.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: 3.23. 3.14. Out of, let's see here. Last year was
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Flannel Fest. Yeah, Flannel Fest.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: That was a good beer.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Their Dunkle. Out of 2,389 ratings.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Jesus, they got more than the other one. The other one, Oktoberfest,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: only had like 900 or something.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but people were probably checking in as like the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: other ones, right? Yeah. And that's why you give the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: score both, right? You give this year's vintage versus the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: overarching score. So where are you falling at on this?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a 275. Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not terrible. So it gets over, say,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: over the halfway mark. But I'm not going to. I'm 275.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I probably could go to five.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm a two five. I'm a two five.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just a little bit more.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It's a, it's just there, you know, it exists. It exists.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And I exist in the same world that this beer
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: exists with the odds of that are astronomical. So consider
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: yourself lucky, but it's, I would just like a little
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: bit more flavor with it. How about that? A little
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: bit more apple, a little bit more cinnamon, a little
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: bit more spice. I don't know. You tell me. Have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you guys had this one yet? What do you think
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: about it? And what does it do to your mouth?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Let us know. As always, I'm Alan.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I'm R.D. Talk to you later. Deuces.
