2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Shared by Badgerben at Cellars LexLarp. What is this? Pours a yellowish gold with a fuzzy head. Hardly any aroma with a piece of skonk in the background. Taste is sweet malt with a grainy sour mix. Rough finish. What was this?

A strange one, shared by Badgerben. It has a sour aroma and a mildly sour flavor with yeast. It is surely infected, and no doubt the infection has improved it. This is like cheap, dry lambic.

This is interesting... So the yellow color with sour wheat aroma give every indication this is another brewing experiment passed off as a lager, but the taste is actually decent. It’s got to be infected, but the infection worked to its benefit. The sourness and woodiness makes it like a cheap lambic. Actually, not too horrific.

Smells like water with a litle lager stank. Probably infected, but I think it improved the taste. This pottle was nice and sour with some woody characteristics. A cheap lambic as badgerben just commented.

i got a bottle of this from a local Beerstore in a small Stubbie...its a hazy golden straw colour much like a typical Pale or american standard. there is almost no aroma. It has a sweet malt taste and a tangy grit to the taste that i find appealing almost the same way i like a spiced

330ml bottle. straw yellow hue. lemon/cut grass aroma, yeasty too. slightly hoppy, more carbonation in disguise. what little head emered on the pour disappeared within about 30 seconds to reveal an oily residue. not much here. tastes like a pale lager with a little craftsmanship behind it. no finish.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
12 oz bottle from Sitar India in Durham, NC. Thought I’d give it a try, had only heard of Tiger and KingFisher beers from India. Came in a small "duvel" shaped botttle and was 7%. Somthing I did not expect. Taste was like a sweet, and mellow malt liquor. Did have some sour notes, but balance was anything but adequate. Expected, but glad I tried.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Looks like a typical pale lager but has an aroma of sweet malt coupled with a strange sourness... but not quite the urine smell detected by the previous rater. The flavor is a slightly bready malt with a honey sweetness and some graininess. Then a slight sourness joins in. (Is there a wild lager yeast?) The finish is a bit metallic with an alcohol dryness. Interesting brew. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Beverage Depot, Naperville, IL<font size=-1>
