I'm bringing back the Beer'd Baron because I'm bored and I miss writing about beer.
Figured I'd start with something interesting... Odell Green Coyote Tomatillo Sour.
Wait...not that one.
THAT'S THE ONE!
Sours are HUGE right now. Last beer festival I went to was teeming with them. I personally love a good sour and I welcome the new sour REVOLUTION.
I had to try this Green Coyote. I've had sours made with just about every fruit imaginable but tomatillo? That's unique... THAT'S A TINY GREEN TOMATO LOOKING THING!
I popped it open and poured it. A hazy yellow beer with a decent head filled the glass. The smell... Was skunky...not a great start. Anything that reminds me of a Corona is not going to fare well. I love the Fast and Furious series but I never want to have a beer with those guys because all they drink is Corona. I'm thinking the Fast and Furious Franchise takes place in an alternate universe where Corona is the only beer. It's really the only thing that makes sense.
The taste... Its not bad. It tastes sour, but there really isn't any specifically discerning flavor otherwise. A little tang, maybe a drop of lemon? The description mentions kiwi but I'm not tasting it. Cucumber is in there a tiny bit if I really strain my taste buds but I'd hate to pull one.
Green Coyote is coming in at 5.1 on the drinkenscale. It's a lighter beer that you can drink all day if you like the flavor. It would probably be a fine beer after working up a sweat outside.
This is a tricky one. I don't feel strongly one way or the other about this beer. Would I buy it again? Not at full price but if there was discounted 6 pack or something I'd grab it. I don't feel like I wasted my time drinking it nor was there a party in my mouth.
Now for a new section of Beer'd Baron articles

"It's sour. It tastes like an old Lemonhead candy that was left in a car and then sprayed by a skunk."
Thats high praise right there.
If you see one in the wild during a beer hunt, grab it, you might really like it. It's not a bad beer, just didn't make my tastie buds dance.
It's good to be back.
Cheers, chummer.
