The black wasn't black enough and the tan definetely wasn't tan enough. It was more like pond water. I have to give it to the gluek brewery, they are very proficient at sucking. Hey, if your going to suck, mine as well do a good job of it. Tastes just like the other eureka's, there's no point in describing the taste, for its reputation speaks volumes.

OK....i was in the liquor store. I read the tag carefully...it said and i quote..."Black and tan"...a bock mixed in with a brown ale...and what the hell does this wind up smelling like....yeah, you got it. It smells like g'DAMN HONEY AGAIN!!!! Every single You Reek Ugh beer smells like honey!!!!! This one however has the distinction of also smelling like robitussin and nyquil. As if it matters (understanding you obviously know whats coming if youve read this far), the appearance is a clear and lightlly carbonated orange thing with a forced mini white head. The taste makes me wanna bust out the milk.... Imagine this if you will...you're watching Seinfeld and Kramer enters the room...you know that surprised look he would have on his face...well yeah, that was me standing aghast after i sipped this putrescence of liquid. It begins with a strange...well i wouldnt call it bockness, more like a grainy malt. Literally, straw, and dirt along with corn!!! Blegh...then this dry nasty malty ending that reminds me of roasted dung beetles (yes...im running out of ways to describe how bad this is). Terrible mouth feel, and very bad beer. So this is why they are so close to the budweiser.....
