Henry Weinhards Blue Boar Pale Ale

Brewed by Full Sail Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Hood River, Oregon USA

Not a good beer by anymeans but not offensive either. I’ve had a lot of bad beers that are just painful to drink, this is a bad beer that goes down easy, especially when cold. Not much to it actually start to finish.

A notch above malt liquor, has that old timey, cheap, street walking taste to it that Ballantine has. Not offensive, just headache wrenching. Skunky, green bottle nose, pillowy white head sitting on tip of a light golden pour. Sweet, alcohol taste with some overripe fruit notes coming though. Good companion for a lonely night if you do not need to wake up early the next morning. Not gut wrencing by any means, just slightly similar to smoking a Swisher Sweet - you get what you pay for.

This is the probably the blandest pale ale I’ve ever tried. I guess you get what you pay for.

Henry’s brews are not bad, considering that you can often find them on sale priced near the Old Milwaukee’s price range. So if you are going somewhere like fishing and need a lot of beer for a little bit of money, you can buy Henry’s and not wake up the next day with a sour stomach and a pounding head.

Slightly better than the private reserve due to a bit more hoppiness. But essentially boring.

Thin and watery, but has more flavor than most macrobrews. A step up from PBR.

Pleasant, but nothing special about it, might as well get 12 stones for the same effect.

Unimpressive. Poor washed out color. Faint hop aroma. Has a liquid dish soap taste to it. Weak flavor. Not very memorable.
