Damn you Dave. Damn you to hell. Pale lager body, no head or retention or lacing. Looks like lemonade or something, only not as much of a beery appearance as lemonade. I should give it a 1. Nose is full of chemicals and adjuncts, along with some pleasing fruit notes and malt. Flavor profile is identical, tastes like what I imagine drinking Lemon Pine-Sol would taste like. Light bodied, watery and forgettable. Wasn’t as bad as Four-0 or Red Horse, so there’s that at least.

This beer was a big, weird mess of bizarre flavors. Flowers, Bubble-Yum, rotting bananas, and corn cobs fermenting in a moldy abandoned silo. Odd, but it was pretty drinkable. This should come in a 40-ouncer.

The aroma is sweet malt, citrus, soap, and flowers. The appearance is pale gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth but thin. I don’t think this is that good.

This is a guilty pleasure beer, despite my low rating, I think this a beer I can drink on days from rough days. its got some flavors of corn and high alcohol. more like a fancier version of a malt liquor. I’ll drink it.

Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweet. Taste is sweet with a slight hop flavor. Refreshing and pretty decent for a lager. Went well with the Indian food.

This is my first India beer rating and it is amazing this 650mL bottle at 7% ABV is coming half way across the planet and only costs $2.99 in Florida. I’m certainly glad they didn’t bother with a Hayward’s 4000 because that would have been just silly. 5000 is the right call, know that.

Pours pale gold with white head. The aroma is faint with sweetness, faint dark fruity esters and mild chemicals. The taste is sugar sweet sugar and cereal followed by floral hops and faint dark fruitiness.
