Jelly Belly Draft

Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

You might be able to find these adorable beer-flavored jelly beans in a specially-made aluminum can that contains single-serving mini bags of beans under its replaceable lid.  There might be other packaging options, as well.

Upon opening the little bag and smelling, you'll be hit immediately with yeast, and it's not pleasant - it's dank and pungent.

Taste is a different story.  The yeast leads the parade of flavors, but this time it's pleasant, with a sharp floral note that is just plain nice combined with the sugar.  As you really start chewing, you get an unmistakable lager beer flavor, with what I have to describe as golden malted barley.  Funnily enough, it ends with a "soapy" feel, which is something you'll occasionally hear as a beer descriptor.

Though I wouldn't call these delicious, between the packaging, the taste, and how authentic it tastes compared to its source material, this is easily a 2-NOM endeavor.  Well done Jelly Belly!
