As part of the 2008 Boston Beer Tour I picked up Porkslap Pale Ale. Dale's Pale Ale has proven that good beer can come in a can, so I took a flier on the Porkslap. With fliers, sometimes you come up empty. It wasn't until I sat down to drink it that I noticed the label said "All Malt." In the store, I was so taken with the jumping pigs that I overlooked this important tidbit. Judging from the taste, there were no hops whatsoever in Porkslap. I would bet MD 20/20 has more hops. Hopless, Porkslap is like a girl with a nice body but a horrendous, ugly face. It left me longing for more and wondering what could have been. It's technically not even a Pale Ale, Malt Beverage would be more accurate. This beer is all gimmick. Don't be fooled by those cut little piggies on the can, Porkslap Pale Ale is terrible.

That's an interesting brew. It says "Pale Ale" and then says "Farmhouse Ale". Which one is it? Note: Well after looking at all their beers every can states Farmhouse Ale so I guess they mean Ale brewed on a farm. Whatever.
