This beer is Allsopp's Arctic Ale, brewed for an arctic expedition that failed in 1875. An auctioneer selling the beer told the BBC that in researching the beer he found it would most likely be "sweet tasting with a hint of tobacco," based on a similar beer that was opened and tasted.
Made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant, Pulque has been brewed in central Mexico for over a millennia. The color makes me think it's coconut flavored, but it's supposed to have a "sour, yeast-like flavor." No thank you.
