Our Craft-Beer Pairings for Halloween Candy post got us to thinking about the craft-beer reviews by our blind-tasting panels published in Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine™. We remembered several occasions when the reviewers compared the aroma or flavor of a beer to a particular candy. Here are some of our favorite comparisons:
Stone Ruination IPA’s flavor elicited the comment, “Caramel candy in the flavor—Cracker Jacks?”
One reviewer said that Allagash Saison’s sweet aroma was that “of . . . lots of lemon/orange candy.”
