1.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle split with Pwn3d, Pat, Ryguy and Belushi. Thank Christ himself that we split this 12 oz five ways. A pretty terrible beer. The Fat Weasel pours a clear yellow body. The aroma is extremely offensive with notes of pee and alcohol. The taste is actually not as bad as the aroma hints at, but its pretty horrendous.
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Bottle. 12 oz. Awful brew. Smells terrible, tastes sweet and gross. Avoid at all costs.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
With pat and Redmond. Smells awful, like tin. Taste is corn and alcohol.. Some sugars.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours ruddy brown with a thin cream colored head. Sweet malt nose and flavor.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Medium aroma of bread/yeast. Clear, golden color with lots of fizziness. Lots of malty sweetness up-front on the palate with metallic notes mid-palate and little to no finish. Creamy mouthfeel coats the palate, and the metallic notes become less evident as the tongue is coated. However, the malty/creaminess is balanced iwth the nice carbonation. Not bad, though would be better without the matallic notes and with more of a finish
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
The Fat Weasel poured a clear straw colored with smallish head. Nice lacing but not much in the taste area. This is just an ordinary ale. The higher alcohol may be it best feature. It would take fewer to get a nice buzz. This is another beer form Trader Joe’s. All have been medicore. None have had me going back to get a six pack.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin off white head over a clear light amber (SRM 7-8) body..........nose of roasted malts with a bit of toffee, and cereal dominating.....taste is light cereal, finishing with a slight hop bitterness....mouth feel is light, carbonation high. This is a very light Amber, almost a Vienna.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Try this one again. I had it a few years ago, and was not impressed. in October 2009, after some time, I find the head more persistant, still malty, but not very aromatic. On the palate, however, this beer seems more robustly flavouful than I remember. Strongly malty on the palate with detectable alcohol, but also detecatble hops. Worth re-visiting.
