Beer Batter Breakfast

802

Hey, who says we only do beer? I was graciously awarded some leftover Woodchuck from a party I recently threw, and considering I didn't want to drink it, I figured, hey, why not make pancakes? 
Eww. Woodchuck.
I was hoping they'd come out some sort of delicious apple pancake magicness. We'll have to wait and see just how that turned out for me.

Prep/Cooking:

Woodchuck is known for its light apple flavor, and the light/faintness was certainly true throughout. To me, Woodchuck's always smelled better than it tasted, and while I'd never had 802 before this, I wasn't expecting much. It turns out I was right.
You sure that's not just batter?
The batter looked and tasted just like normal batter. There was a faint apple aroma to the batter, and I guess if I tried I could taste it as well, but it was largely overpowered by the batter itself.

Results:

 (Apple) Pancakes!

I'm not even going to spend the time to write details here. The pancakes were awful. Well, I guess as awful as pancakes can be. They tasted normal. If I hadn't watched myself make them with Woodchuck, I wouldn't've believed there was any in there.
Almost a waste of syrup
Syrup didn't even help. Well, it helped, but it didn't make them any more apple-y.

The Ternary Scale:

0. 0. No way. Okay, if you have to get rid of some Woodchuck and you don't like cider, this is probably a decent way to get rid of it, but it's almost not worth the batter.
