A Note on This Beer
“They’ll never get a hold of my Rainbow Smiggles!” the rabbit shouted gleefully, as he raced down the street, boxes of Smiggles under each arm.
Two kids followed in hot pursuit, determined to come between the greedy bunny and his fruit-filled sugar bombs.
When he saw the sign for Pontoon Brewing looming ahead, he ran inside and shut the doors tightly behind him. Then, finding himself surrounded by delicious craft beer, he proceeded to chase his sugary cereal with a few cans, and…
Okay, okay, so that’s not EXACTLY how Rainbow Smiggles came to be. But, it sure tastes like it!
In reality, the brewers at Pontoon stuffed their latest batch of this Berliner Weisse with over 100 lbs of Trix Cereal and 500 lbs of Skittles! Then, they added over 3 lbs per gallon of juicy strawberries and pineapple, along with sweet vanilla and lactose.
My inner child is practically cartwheeling with excitement! It smells like heaps of tangy strawberry and pineapple Skittles, and has a lip-puckering sour candy flavor. But then, the tartness fades into a creamy vanilla sweetness, finishing soft and balanced.
We’ve managed to score a few cases of this creative Sour for all you kids at heart! That rascally rabbit, though? He wasn’t so lucky.
Pontoon Brewing won two Gold medals at the 2020 U.S. Open Beer Championship!
