It's the Summer of Love. Love=Beer. With that being said, the Brewski Brothers decided to kick the tires and hit the road. We ventured out to Reynoldsburg and a relatively new brewpub called Mulholland Brewing Company. Humpday (Wednesday) happy hour provides you with $2.00 pints of various selections from Mulholland. With a mere fistful of dollar bills, the collective We figured We could overserved ourselves on the cheap.
Here are the beers we tried:
ROUND ONE
Rob vs. Saison DuMonde
I enjoyed it. It really tasted like about 75% Belgian-style tripel and 25% French farmhouse ale. It was slightly sweet and almost had a tinge of ginger spice.
Charlie vs. Imperial Red
A lesser intense version of Stone's Arrogant Bastard. Decent.
ROUND TWO:
Charlie vs. Perfect Storm Vanilla Framboise
Somewhat pleasant at first. Alcohol burn; odd for a relatively low alcohol beer. Too much vanilla on the nose and palate. Nauseating after a while. Get me a bucket.
Rob vs. Highlander Scottish Ale
It was pale in color, bland in taste and really disappointing. It had about as much character as a "Murder She Wrote" marathon. It was thin and unlike a true Scottish Ale. I equate this to Mulholland's version of Killian's Red. Yuck. I only drank about half of it before giving up.
ROUND THREE:
Rob vs. Raider Belgian Brown
This looked as pasty as the Highlander Ale. It was drinkable, but not spectacular. In fact, it was pedestrian. Mild hoppiness. Dry. Not malty enough for my liking.
THE FINAL VERDICT:
A disappointment overall. The service was slow, and at times non-existent. The beers I had looked forward to trying were not on tap. The beers that were sampled were b-b-b-boring. I really wanted to like this place.
LAST THOUGHT:
As We walked out, I turned around to get one last look at Mulholland. I saw their faux stove smokestacks jutting skyward, looking almost like a hand giving me the ol' middle finger. Right back at ya, Mulholland.
SLOGANIZE ME:
"If you have nothing better to do. Mulholland Brewing Company."
