I found this Narragansett
beer can to be an interesting looking can and the beer sounded a little
interesting too. So I picked one up. This is Narragansett Lovecraft Honey
Ale, 7.0% ABV and Narragansett collaborated with Revival Brewing Co. This is
part of the Lovecraft series of beers that is named after the Rhode Island
author H.P. Lovecraft and his now known as the father of modern horror. Artist
from Steven King, to Neil Gaiman, Metallica, and Guillermo Del Toro cite him as
a direct influence. Lovecraft Honey Ale is brewed with five pale malts
including honey. This beer is more like an IPA. Lovecraft Honey Ale pours a
deep copper color with a fluffy four finger white head that slow dissipates
into some nice lacing in the glass but not a lot. I found there to be some
light coming through but just a little and there is a decent carbonation bubble
level there. The aroma is much like a sweet IPA. There is a piney earthy note
with a sweet scent of some honey. Not much hops on the nose. At first Lovecraft
Honey Ale has a sweet taste but very quickly turns bitter and piney as it
passes over the back of your mouth. Not a good taste if you as me. There is a
slight malted note on the very end but nothing to help with the bitterness. The
mouth feel is medium with a bitter somewhat malted finish. Aftertaste is bitter
with no sweetness from the honey. I found this beer to be not good and to
bitter overall. Narragansett Lovecraft Honey Ale gets a D-. The sweet flavor
from the honey is only present for a very short while and there is too much hop
bitterness to this with not enough malt flavors to balance it out. It’s more
hop bitterness than anything else and I was not expecting it to be like that. This
Lovecraft Honey Ale sounds better than it taste. I could not finish all sixteen
ounces of this. I wouldn’t really recommend Narragansett Lovecraft Honey Ale to
anyone nor would I try it again. It’s to bitter with not enough malt or honey
sweetness. Cheers! Please enjoy Responsibly!
