2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a clear tan with very little head. What is there is just white head. Aroma is definitely funky malts and grass. Flavor is malt and yeast primarily with hints of hops. Nothing great stands out. Bleh. Not impressed.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Funky aroma of wet straw and malt. The most striking thing about this beer when it hits the palate is its dryness. It is also malty, grass and straw flavors, lingering hop bitterness, slightly tinny.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
I suspect that this beer is ranked low not because of lack of flavor, particularly compared to other bitters, but rather because of the fact that it’s alcohol by volume comes to a lowly 3.3%. You’re not drinking Old Foghorn here! I am actually interested in finding low alcohol beers that are full of flavor for those moments when I have no desire to get sloshed & this one fits that role well.
Technical: Pours a sparkling , straw-like golden with a giant head. Smells strongly of lemon blossoms & sweet toffee. Flavor less pronounced at first, quite dry, with lots of grassy, long-lasting hops bitterness. Some sharp citric acidity. Malts not very apparent.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours copper with a nice white head. Slightly bread/funk aroma with a bit of yeast. Flavor isn’t as funky, really really light flavored all around. I can pick up a bit of yeast, malt, and a bit of floral hops, but that’s a stretch. Finishes a bit watery but if it was any heavier it would be weird. Interesting beer.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Gusher, but pour gets me stoked. It looks great. Golden, nice head, streaming bubbles. Smells like nothing, then maybe some yeast. Tastes like metal, then sour. Terrible. I let it sit an hour (don’t want to drink). Try again at RT. Much nicer this time. Biscuit and yeast replace sour and metal. No hop presence. Watery, watery, foamy. Not so good. I can’t think of a time I would want to drink this ass water.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This beer’s not as bad as its made out to be. Low alcohol, yes. Bad, no. Pours an orangish honey color with a pretty thin haed that dissipates quickly to just a ring around the edge of the brew. Faint malt smells, a little metallic. Tastes light and malty. Not huge flavor by any stretch, but malty and tasty nonetheless.
Thin, dry mouthfeel, with crisp carbonation. Very drinkable, light tasty beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pint bottle aquired from Snojerk321 in trade- poured into pint glass. Poured with moderate carbonation an amber, very thin white ring formed around the glass. Aroma of yeast, hops, malt. Hits the mouth with a medium body, hops are noticeable, finish a bit collapseable with an acidic overtone. Bit too hoppy for a bitter, but I found it ok. Nothing to write home about.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
I’m speechless...purchased/drank this at city beer in SF as I had not seen it before....I understand they use the dregs of the old Foghorn, but this one smells & tastes like someone wrung out a rotten dish rag into the bottle. Give me a BMC anyday over this one...Note to Anchor: just because you can "recycle" beer ingredients doesn’t mean you should...
