THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Silly Saison
Just as I had finished blowing smoke up Belgium's ass for their string of diverse and delicious ales, I reached for this less than inspiring beverage. Silly Saison is a Belgian brew, but with a standard AHV as opposed to many of it's peers. This one is a brown ale.
Silly Saison pours a slightly murky amber colour, with a strangely patchy head. This is the first beer I've encountered that suffers from Alopecia. The feel of the beer is pretty light, and surprisingly watery. The taste is almost indecipherable. It's syrupy sweet, with malts and some strange fruit flavours. It almost tastes like something out of a soda fountain.
I can't describe it exactly, but midway through a strange potent taste emerges and dominates throughout the aftertaste. It is the definition of 'leave a bad taste in your mouth'. It's kind of like ultra sweet raisins juice. Yeah. It tastes more like medicine than beer. Not impressed.
