aerosol999 (113), Quebec, Canada Dec 6, 2007 Appearance: copper with a low head.
Aroma: Hoppy and grassy, good English hop character with some caramel.
Flavour: Mildly assertive and clean bitterness. No malt or crystal malt character. Dry as a bone with some light diacetyl character.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, finishes (and starts) very dry.
Overall: Clean and assertive with a goodly hop bitterness. little to no fermentation esters. Some good English grassy hop flavours. Refreshing good with a curry.
MtStateBeer (61), Hurricane, West Virginia, USA Nov 30, 2008 500 ml bottle. Pours a golden, orange-amber color with very little white head. Aroma is mainly malts, grain, bread, biscuit, and a touch of floral hops. Flavor is sweet, caramel malts, resiny hops. Light bodied, dry, flat mouthfeel. Very drinkable, sort of indistinguishable though. daknole (1122), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 29, 2008 Bottle from total wine, I had just enough to taste it and no more...yuck. Gold pour, white head. Very malty aroma with some corn notes and stale crackers. Some hops are on the nose a bit, but not on the tongue. Overly malty and the hops just dont blend well. Again, YUCK. JonL (4), Toodyay, Australia does not count Nov 28, 2008 Bought it for the novelty value....good head, slight malts, pleasant enough taste. Good for throwing at Frenchmen! penguinjive7 (67), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Pours a copper color with a rather large white head that leaves good lacing throughout.
A biscuity smell is the most present with some hop smells as well.
The hops hit upfront, but are not strong and it is followed by a taste that is mostly bread-like. There is a hint of sweetness in the finish as well. Nothing too complex here, which lends to the difficulty in searching for descriptives.
This brew goes down easy, and it would make a good session brew.
I would not go out of my way to buy this again, but it was worth a shot for the novelty, and it was a fairly pleasant brew to boot.
Reviewed on: 02-21-2007 Rogueone (410), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Nov 20, 2008 Draft @ Winking Lizard, served in Holy Grail Chalice: I mean, the beer is brilliantly marketed but all in all pretty underwhelming. It is smooth, though, like a malt bomb and then finishes like dry English tea. It is ’meh’ at best.
