0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 Aubrey (3193) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - AUG 7, 2003
Light golden. Very carbonated up front; the spritzer quickly turned watery. Fruity (apples, yeast) notes popped up here and there. Papery and cardboardy notes were stronger though. And then there was this hard-to-define, peppery spice. Drain pour. Maybe I got a bad one.

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

One of the weirdest and worst beers I’ve ever had. There is some kind of tabasco sauce flavor that overwhelms the whole beer. Seriously, hot sauce for crying out loud! Also, it is as if there is some liquid smoke poured in. Absolutely disgusting.

Smell is sour. Taste is slightly rotten. The only redeeming quality was the light bubbly palate. This beer was a disappointment. I could barely finish it, my friend dumped his out.

I must’ve really screwed up in a past life for this kharma to befall me. Pours a pale gold, which is the only positive about this crap. Taste is a weird mixture of smoke, copper, and malt. What in the name of Maharaji is this stuff? This is awful, truly awful. Luckily, I only bought a single. Perhaps my kharma wasn’t so bad afterall.

***review from Dec 20, 2007***
"the worst...THE WORST BEER EVER TO DISGRACE A GLASS! I am not kidding, every whiff that abuses my nose makes me almost puke...serious, so close. Now, I realize that I may have gotten a bad bottle but I’ve had my share of horrid Indian beers and this one is truly the epitome of ungodly. Kill me now...no, wait for me to get this review in first.
Ok...this is undoable. I can’t smell it long enough to grasp the abominations that eminate from my glass, which is begging me to smash it. It’s a horrid blend of vomit inducing smoke, garbage liquid at the bottom of a dumpster, sweet and probably cashews! ... forget it this will never touch my lips. I could give it a 6 for appearance but I just can’t do it....update - it has taken almost 45 minites for my stomach to go off of Red Alert...the beer is gone, the bottle is gone and my brain is still sending that putrifaction of stench to my gut....I need to give this lower marks - how do I enter negative values? May Vishnu send a herd of cows to trample me as soon as possible.
