COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A lighter ale brewed with very select pale malts and mildly flavored with a blend of special hops. This beer is exceptionally smooth, crisp and very drinkable with a rich gold color.

Bottled. From Charlotte airport. Blonde with no head (really a shame to not get the head). Aroma is light weird funk, light sweet cereal grain. Flavor is mild sweet never bitter and grainy and boring. Beer never changes through finish.

Had this on tap at a bar near lake Norman, NC. Tastes of light fruit, a little bit or orange bite with a smooth aftertaste. A really enjoyable beer, could down a few of these and still want more.

BlackWarrior (139) - Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA - JAN 14, 2010
Golden, almost orange, in color. Small to medium head which dissipated fairly quickly. Aroma is sour and floral hops, with some maltiness. Light and watery. A quick burst of carbonation followed by some syrupiness. A sweet, citrusy and earthy flavor that has a more yeast than hops in the finish. It’s not terrible, but it’s not very good or exciting.

Bottle. I’m sure it doesn’t help that I’ve had this bottle sitting around for months and months, but here goes. Pours a hazy orange gold with a medium sized white head that falls off fast. Slightly sour and wet wheat, grain. Nothing really resembling a hop presence. Odd caramel. Medium bodied, a little sour vegetable flavor, paper, sweet cardboard. Finishes tangy and with more wet dog cardboard flavors. Weird.

Bottle. This beer was awful. It smelled skunky, tasted skunky. It was just a bad beer. It also says it is an "ale". I thought "pilsener" was a lager. Anyway, not very good.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - OCT 11, 2009
Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear gold with an effervescent white head. The head is gone in seconds. Aroma: Wet paper, stale malt, corn syrup, and a bit of euro lager. Not good. Flavor: Very watery. Corn, grain, and popcorn notes with a little back bitterness. I think I would rather have a Bud Light than this. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a very watery, light mouthfeel and a short, tasteless finish. Overall: Nice job making a shitty BMC clone.

On tap at the Charlotte Airport, Carolina bar. Clear pale straw color with small white head. Aroma is slightly grainy with dry light fruit. Flavor is grainy, green apple and slight lemon. Spritzy medium body. Sessionable and crisp.
