Pours a transparent bright golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of slightly sweet caramel malt with a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts fairly full and malty sweet with a touch of DMS and some earthiness toward an overly-bitter, dry finish. Not very true to style, and has a strange balance to it.

Bottle from Matt. THanks. Pours out a golden orange color without much of a head at all. Smell is fruity and sweet. Taste is fruity and sweet. Not much alcohol detected, fair level of carbonation. Much like my review of this beer, it sucked.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 ElGaucho (1816) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - FEB 16, 2007
Bottle. Underrated. Fresh, fruity aroma without a very strong hop profile in the nose. Excellent lace with a hazy gold body and slow rising bubbles. Initial mouthfeel is a cross between a peppery pils and a moderate bock. Good malt sweetness with near bock strength. Some hop in the finish. Stronger alcohol profile. Good balance. Peppery. Considerably better than Fat Tire, yet inexplicably lower rated.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 7, 2007
At 7.1/7.2 this ain’t no average amber. Lightly hazed golden color with a moderate creamy off-white head. Light candy fruit aroma. Really not a whole lot to "talk" about. Lots of light fruit and syrup in the flavors. Cotton candy, corn syrup and a dash of malted milk come to mind. Not quite a malt liquor, but real close to it. Mouth-coating and somewhat syrupy in feel. An ale with an attitude, but I’m not a fan of this ones disposition.

Clear, yellow gold appearance with an average size head and decent lacing. Sweet malt aroma, some breadiness, soft fruits had to be coaxed out. Sweet, astringent taste, medium bodied, well carbonated. Sharp alcohol burn in the aftertaste.
