While shopping at the Block in Orange, or whatever the hell it’s called now, I checked into Alcatraz Brewing Co.

for a quick flight. Not pictured was a strawberry wheat which was cloudy pink and tasted exactly as described.

The standouts for me were the Light Wry Ale and the Albino Pelican Pale Ale. The Light Wry Ale was a fairy complex Weissenbock style beer with some nice spice from the rye and banana/clove.

The Albino Pelican Ale was probably the most citrus forward beer I’ve had in some time.

I thought my wife squeezed lemon or lime in it!

I ordered a second to be sure. Highly recommend either on a hot day!

If you’re ever at the outlets in Orange (previously The Block) , stop into Alcatraz. Be sure to plan your escape!
