Quotes:  "Mmmmm, pie.  No, wait.  It doesn't taste like pie."  "I expected to vomit, but here we are."  "Weird.  The label says pecans are involved..."

Aroma:  3/10, Doesn't smell like pecans.  Disappointing.  But doesn't smell like dirt, so...
Appearance:  4/5, Good, thick head.  So amber it's almost orange, like this little chump.
Taste:  5/10, Kind of plain.  Doesn't smell like pecans, doesn't taste like pecans. Has a picture of a pecan on the label with the word "Pecan".  Lies.
Palate:  2/5, Pretty uninspiring.
Overall: 14/30

In closing:  Everything from the label to the color of this ale has you expecting pecans.  One sniff, one taste and you'll glance back at the label to make sure you didn't misread pecan as pecan't.  Har.  It's marketed as being one of few pecan beers made with actual pecans.  I guess actual pecans don't make beer taste like pecans.

Good for:  Testing your nut allergy without the aftertaste.
