  Speaker 3: Mazel, mazel, good things. Should we sniff first? Smells like
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a wheat beer.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I like the flavors. Okay. I like it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: That's not bad.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Does AI say what we need to be tasting and
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: then enjoying?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So let's just see here. I've got your characteristics. It's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: going to be a deep golden to amber. Aroma is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going to be vanilla and light caramel. Flavor, candy corn, marshmallow.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: And vanilla. Marshmallow and vanilla for sure.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Sweetness, noticeable but not overpowering. The mouthfeel should be smooth
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: wheat beer body. And bitterness, not a prominent feature.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: All right. Yeah, not terrible. Like, it's, you know, you
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: get some of these beers and you're like, it gets
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: out of control. I love the beer. Like, the beer
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: bottle's great. It's already ready for Halloween and everything like that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: The label. I can't wait. Can't wait. Yeah, no, it's,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not bad, right? Oh, I like the taste, though.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Vanilla and marshmallow.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not picking up a ton of, like, candy corn
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: flavor in it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Well, cause it's marshmallow and vanilla, but that's what, that's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: what that is.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It's supposed to be marshmallow.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But I mean, it's pretty good. This was one of those.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I was out, I was out working.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I like the flavor.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Shopping for an order. And they just had like a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: small display next to one, the, the freezer bunkers. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, send a picture to you, grabbed it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and put it in the cart because I knew what
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you were going to say. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So grabbed
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a sixer of it. And, uh, It's pretty tasty.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's not bad. It actually tastes kind of good. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: usually I don't like wheat beers anyways because usually they
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: might tend towards the sour or the tart phase or
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: something like that. But, I mean, this one actually is
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: kind of good. I mean, it's kind of good.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It leans more towards the candy side, I think. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: really do think it does lean towards the candy side
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit more.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, it looks good. Like, clarity on it is
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: pretty nice. The head, I hard poured it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So it didn't overflow. Maybe it's a little undercarbonated, if
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you want to say that. I mean, there's not a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: lot of carbonation involved.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't think you– I was just going to say,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: with your wheat beers, you don't typically get that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Even working it over a little bit, you still– you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? It's just a little this, a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: little that. I'm not having a bad time. When was
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the last time you had a Shock Top?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was a thing. I hadn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: seen Shock Top in a while.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And then I saw that because I used to love
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: just regular Shock Top wheat. They used to be owned
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: by Anheuser-Busch.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And now they're owned by, what did I say, Tilray? Tilray. Yeah, Tilray,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: which also owns Breckenridge. But they bought them from Budweiser
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: back in 2023, or from Anheuser-Busch in 2023. What's your
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: prediction for what the untapped scores are, the average? 3.25.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: 3.18. Okay.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I wonder why they're going so low.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Can you read a couple off to me? I just
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: pulled up the... Untapped?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't pull up untapped.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, never mind. Yeah, yeah. I just got that in there.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Because I'd like.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: To see their concerns because this is actually a pretty
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: good little beer.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And if you're having it as a novelty, you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: candy corn beer, and you're drinking this beer because you
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: probably like candy corn, what's the problem is my question.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It's a nice little beer. I'm not going to have
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a ton of these. I'm going to have a couple
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: just to enjoy myself and be festive.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Right. October is a week away. Halloween is.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You know, right around the corner.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It's coming. It's fast.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It does say one reviewer who doesn't particularly like
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: candy corn enjoyed the beer, noting that it captures the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: candy's flavors without becoming excessively sugary.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's one thing I will say. It's not over the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: top sweet. It's not over the top anything like that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So it's actually like a nice little independent beer where
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it's not like, you know, almost not even not even
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a novelty at this point. Right.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Let's go ahead. I mean, yes.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty tasty. What's up, Lizzie?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Bye, babe. I like the flavor.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I do. It's pretty good.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: The marshmallow and the vanilla work really well together.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It's really chill, really just mellow. Nothing over the top.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a wheat beer.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: But everything else is good. I'm a nice little thumbs
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: up on that. I'm a three and a half.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, I'm probably about the same, three and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a half. And carbs not too high. It's 12 to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: 14 grams for 12 ounces.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That's not too bad. but you just cut that in half.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You only had six.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Thank God. Jesus. And I'm sitting there knocking back. Six
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to seven, six, seven.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Um, but I mean, all in all, it's pretty damn tasty.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: If you can get it, grab it. I picked it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: up at a Tom Thumb.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Um, I hadn't seen it anywhere else. That's actually, I've
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: only seen it at one store at that one Tom Thumb.
