World Market, Baton Rouge, La, 12 oz bottle. Pours a very pale light golden with a spongy, spritzy but thin white head. Funky aroma, reminds me of hair tonic, some grassy notes redeem it a bit. Same funkiness permeates the flavor. Has a bit of saaz hoppiness to it, but is overwhelmed by a metallic blandness. Mouthfeel is rather thin. Not the best.

Another bottle shipped by BigLove as part of the Confederate BIF, Big Easy Beer came in a brown 12 oz. bottle. After opening and pouring the carbonation was way over the top, and it took several attempts to get the beer into the glass. The underlying body was pale clear yellow with fizzy bubbles. The aroma, what aroma? There was nothing to smell here. The taste was weak as well with nondescript tasteless pale malts and a lemony sour yeasty flavor. No hop bitterness to be found anywhere. Easy drinking and inoffensive.
