1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
40oz bottle. This stuff is awful. Tastes like piss with some malt in it. I’ve had worse but this is in the top for for that category.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Shitty beer camouflaged in a decent looking can. Whatever, still has no flavor, body, etc.
Waste of money -- buy PBR or Golden Anniversary, save money and get better taste.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
oh i’ve had some experience with this one. i think it has a good hop taste. you just have to look for it. ballantine beers have good body. they are clean tasting and they are usually quite affordable. i find this ale to be a good attempt by a large brewer to make a decent ale. although we know they should all try harder.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a head of foam with a frothy top finely sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent light yellow-orange colored body. The strong aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mellow finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops and grassy. Not one that I would buy again.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
From a twelve ounce bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a malty, slightly cabbagey smelling light golden brew with a tall white, rapidly diminishing head of foam. Tastewise, it’s not the worst stuff I ever tasted, but it doesn’t even make the middling mark with me!
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Green bottle. Clear straw color with a large head. Dissipates quickly, leaving fair lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and lightly floral hops. Flavor is corn-sweet with just a touch of bitterness. Light body. No skunk. Easy drinking, hot weather beer.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
bottle - Pours light and clear yellow with a thin head. The aroma is very light malt. The flavor is also very mild, tasting mostly of malt and corn. This beer is thin bodied, inoffensive, and finishes light too. Meh. I also have a hard time believing it’s America’s best selling ale. I’d never even seen it before.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
It’s not like I drank this after a bunch of double IPA’s or something like that, but this was absolutely the most timid beer I’ve ever had. Seriously, the aroma was all "sorry sir, I’ll just barely smell like anything so as not to offend" and the flavor was like "I’m just gonna try to not get the tounge’s attention or anything" And another thing - is this really America’s best selling Ale?
