Beer of the Week

The beer: Project Happy Hole-idayz

Brewed by: Wicked Weed Brewing, Asheville, North Carolina

Description (from Untappd): "Brewed with Sheetz vanilla donut holes, this collaboration is a deep golden pale ale with notes of fresh baked donuts, vanilla frosting, graham crackers, honey, and malted barley."

Would I buy it again?: I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this beer. I don't want to say that it's bad, it's just ... strange. The decision to make a doughnut beer out of a pale ale is quite frankly baffling. You would expect this to be a stout, maybe a porter, but not a pale ale. On the one hand, I respect the choice to be different, but on the other, I have to imagine this beer would have been much better if a more appropriate beer style had been chosen. If there was a doughnut stout, I'd be all over that in an instant.
