2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
The aroma is sour with notes of malt and mash. The color is orange and it has a fine head. The flavor is very malty in the beginning and has a rather bitter end. The body is thin. All the good stuff from the mash has already been extracted and is to be found in one of my favorite beers: Old Foghorn - so I'll stay away from this one and stick to Old Foghorn.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Bottle 65 cl) "Small Beer" has the same brewing history as what we used to call "thin beer" in Denmark a hundred years ago: giving the remaining mash from top-product Old Foghorn a second go. Amber coloured with a slight haze, a very small head is left on top of the beer. Very bitter, not much sweetness to detect here. And naturally not much body either. But quite fresh and quenching.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled (thanks whoever sent this is a trade, found in my cellar). Pale ambery golden colour with small off-white head. Aroma is wood and quite harsh skunky earthyness. Flavour is earthy, grassy, a bit wooden and also has some slight fruity notes lurking in the background. A bit harsh as for the earthyness, but otherwise quite nice.
