SUPERFAIL!

The first beer/tequila mix went so well, I thought I'd try it again. I shouldn't have.

We mixed the latest from Clipper City's Heavy Seas line - their 10% Unfiltered Weizen Dopplebock called Hang Ten - with a shot of Patrón Silver. The mix was 1:1. It was an abomination. We resisted the urge to up the ratio of beer to tequila for fear we'd just be making more of this vomitous substance, and we'd be responsible for drinking it.

The beer on its own is decent enough, if you go for that yeasty sweet high gravity wheat flavor. And of course the Patrón is a perfectly cromulent tequila when enjoyed without the aforementioned yeasty sweet high gravity wheat flavor. But they don't mix well. Not even a little.

Readers will be happy to know that both yovo and I survived the ordeal, washing the failure down with a pint each of the nectar from Camel City.
