Bottle, thank god my buddy split this one with me. I may well rather drink ram’s piss (Beerfest refrence). This pale yellow liquid is pretty much foul. Skunked Heineken comes to mind. Bllehhh.. Next!!!

gold with large chunks of yeast floating around and no head. bottle looks about 30 years old. flavor is lightly sweaty and spicy(red pepper) even smoky, with notes of butter and toffee. light bodied. watery with light carbonation. sweet. one of the 7 best beers in the world? wow! i did not know that. amazing! but really...i actually do kind of like it. oh. i just realized these are the same guys that make the awesome crunk juice, "old monk 10,000". a personal favorite of mine.

I’ve had this beer twice in India, and just can’t venture there again. The first time I thought the strange odor and aftertaste was an effect on skunking. The second confirmed this is just a bad bad beer.

UPDATED: AUG 3, 2007 Bottle, Belmont Station
Golden-straw colour. Slight vegetal, plasticy aroma with chemical undertones. Taste has a strong toasty overtone, doughy malts, more plastic (but without the more offensive aroma notes). Not quality.

(bottle - 650 ml) Pale yellow color with a puffy white head. Aroma is dry, sweet, and sour with some hints of hops and grass. Flavor is sweet and sour at the start with dry grass, sour hops, and some unidentified sweetness. Crisp and watery.

LyndaNova (524) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - MAR 3, 2007
Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear golden yellow color with absolutely no head. Aroma is of light malts, grass, earth and light fruits. Taste is at first of light malts with a crescendo of earthy hops and descends to notes of grass and light fruits. Watery texture and hardly carbonated. Ending is of earth and some sour notes; very dirty tasting.

Bottle: Hazy dark yellow with no head, stale earth aroma, cardboard taste, watery texture. Maybe an old bottle.
