The picture on the label for this is pretty self explanatory. Pissed off blonde (ex-wife?) dropping her ring into a mug of beer. The label reads "Bitter is in the ring of the beer holder". I am actually not all that sure what that means to be honest. I guess its best to move on and get to the beer itself.Pours a nice, clean golden color with a nice white head. Lots of nice little bubbles in this one. Smell is bready, sweet, some hay but nothing too strong.
Taste is like a dry, pale lager. Its got a metallic aftertaste (maybe from the ring?) to go with some sweetness and citrus tastes. I am not a huge fan as this is simply a style that usually doesn't captivate me too much. Its a light tasting beer that I think could be a nice "crossover" beer for those that buy their beer in packs of thirty.
As the Ex-Wife warms a bit it becomes a pretty decent and drinkable beer. Nothing too disagreeable, just not an outstanding offering from Freeport.
Try their chocolate porter if you see it in a growler. Its good stuff!
