Near amber with a small off white head. Light rose floral and mild malt aroma. Light malt and light floral hops flavors as well. Served too cold. More like an english pale. Nothing off, just a bit too mushy.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 drpimento (1750) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 3, 2009
Had about a 7 oz glass of this a couple of weeks ago at the corner pub. Served with no head or lace. Color was a light to medium amber. Aroma was faintly of hop and malt. Flavor was the same. Body was very watery and light carbonation. Super short finish. Like a hoppy pale ale made for people who don’t like hops. Lame beer.

On draught at the brewpub in downtown Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden amber with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a bubbly ring. Aroma of both crystal and caramel malts, citrus hops with a touch of roasted nuts and dark pitted fruits. Taste is light to medium bodied, well-carbonated with flavors of roasted crystal and caramel malts citrus hops and some roasted nuts. Finish is semi-sweet with after tastes of tart pear, light citrus hops and some caramel. This is more like an amber ale but still a solid beer.

On tap at the pub. Light amber in color with a small white head. Light floral aroma. No hops flavor at all. Very weak Pale ale.
2.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 ElGaucho (1862) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - SEP 24, 2003
Hoppy malty mix in the aroma; malt is winning. A little cloying in the nose. Fresh and a little floral. Light amber in color. One taste and I come to the following conclusion: the folks at Corner Pub need to go back to the drawing board on this one. No hops whatsoever. Has a watered down feel. Good if you like beer flavored water.
