Mmmm. Pineapple shandy sounds fairly good proper now with the climate heating up. However first issues first. Preakness Ale is, as marketed, crimson. Very crimson. Like cherry Jolly Ranchers crimson.

The palate is far the identical, spherical and refreshing with light citrus notes, a contact of one thing vaguely floral, and a simple, malty end. It’s no taste bomb, in all probability by design, however satisfying whether or not you’d name your self a beer drinker or not. Pimlico Race Course is certain to be awash on this stuff.
