2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours clear golden with bright white fizzy head, which quickly disappears. Bready aroma. Taste is light malt and corn, with substantial bitterness.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pale amber with one finger of fading white head. Good amount of lacings. A bready and corny aroma. Taste is Slightly more interesting than Miller High Life. No bad attributes just not very special. Oh it does have an attractive label.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Mmmm....smells of sweet corn and diacetyl. Medium straw, thin head. Sweet, reminds me of cheap Polish lager. Drainpour.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours clear gold with a rough white head. Aroma of honey and grass. Light body, watery texture, active carbonation. Some sweet biscuit and a dash of corn and wood in the taste, lightly sour,lightly floral, lightly bitter crisp finish. Seems like an interesting compromise between a Pils and a Mexican lager.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
From the bottle pour straw gold with a thin stripe of a white head. I don’t pick up any of the cypress, maybe it’s more of a "driftwood aging" gimmick. Overall this isn’t offensive in any way, maybe not exciting, but drinkable. Doughy malts and a soft honey note. Balanced, hops add a soft spiciness.
Oh, and don’t forget, incredible "pure yeast" character.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Smelled like stale feed corn. Light hop bitterness and corn and grain in the taste. Watery.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
This was a sub-par beer. I’m guessing Dixie is to New Orleans what Henry Weinhard’s is to Portland. Poured a honey tone with a white head that faded quickly. I did not like the carbonation with this one, too thick and way too much carbonation. Pretty one dimensional as the style serves. Cracker malt grains a little bit of citrus and pine toned hops and that’s pretty much it.
2.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Reviewed 2/10/2009 (bottle):
Pours a very clear, very pale yellow colored body, with a smallish creamy white head that’s diminishing. Has a banana malty aroma. Grainy, and light smelling. Almost effervescent. Watery taste, grainy. Maybe corn. Light taste.
