Aroma intrigued but very sour to the taste buds. I’ll agree there is a hint of bourbon but needs to show through a bit more for this beer to be appreciated (by me, anyway).

Very surprised by the lack of skunk, considering the clear bottle. Pours a clear amber with quickfading white head. Interesting flavor, i suppose that comes form the sour mashing? A little grainy in the finish. Cheap and interesting, worth a try, but not gonna be a regular in my fridge.

Pours a three finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer, leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Malty nose. Flavor is sweet bourbon and caramel, unusual lager, hops are in the background. Label has this brewed by the Naked Lion Brewing Co and their web site is nakedlion.com. $1.50 for a 12oz clear bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT

Pours like copper. The sour mash is definitely noticeable. Good strength at a good price. If you can find it give it a try.

Pours a clear copper colour with a medium sized white off white head. Aroma is a little nutty, with strong malt aroma as well. Flavor is semi-sweet with a full mouthfeel. Decent, but nothing incredible.

Clear 12oz bottle. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized head. Aromas of wet grass, earthy, and vegatables. Tastes of caramel, lightly bready, and a trace of brown sugar.
