Horse Piss Beer

Brewed by Bluegrass Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Louisville, Kentucky USA

Serve in Lager glass

12oz bottle, no date. There’s no way this can be good, being named Horse Piss, but if I had a brewery, I might actually name my most awesome beer a dumb name. Not as light as the Pabst Extra Light--but close. Very pale clear golden with a ring of white head that all but disappeared after about 10 seconds. Aroma of Crunch Berries cereal and the slightest hint of vomit and tang--not as bad as it sounds, but not good, either. The flavor is a mix between chewing on the cardboard box of Cap’n Crunch and the cereal itself. Mild bitterness (straight bitterness--no hops involved) in the semidry finish. Watery with low carbonation. You and the Cap’n make it happen!

bottle. I bought this for the humor factor. The name says it all, it pretty much sums it up apropriately.

A reputable establishment. Good beers in a walk in cooler. Sold in four packs. "Horse Piss?," I said. "Ah, a brewer with a sense of humor!" Nope. Just a very accurate name. You know, I don’t "like" beers like Coors Light or Miller Lite. I don’t really even consider them the same type of beverage as high quality beers. But their lack of flavor is superior to this, which has a truly BAD flavor. It’s insulting to call this a dortmunder/helles.

This beer by any other name would taste as bad, but as it turns out, they did a pretty good job naming it. 12 oz bottle. Poured a pale golden color with slight haziness. Head was thin and white. No lace was left behind at the end. Aroma was of biscuity malt and grassy hops. Slightly sweet on the tongue with delicate, but pleasant malty caramel. This beer isn’t great, but it beats the Kentucky Light and Kentucky Ale I just rated.

I think this is the case where it’s not good to live up to the name of the beer, but it did. Pours hazy light yellow with a rocky white head. The aroma has sweet pale malt with a citrus tinge. Medium grainy husky body with moderate sharp carbonation. The beer starts with sharpness and light pale malt. The finish has some corn, spice and a fake taste. A bad beer.

I can now proudly announce to the world that I have consumed horse piss. Ok, here goes. 12 oz. bottle. Pours a pale yellow with no head. Nose and taste are grainy and breadlike, although there is not much taste at all. Thin and watery. Do not let this beer get warm! Got it as a gift in a trade, so nothing lost

Probably not the most appetizing name for a beer but it is drinkable. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a small white head, just don’t smell it. I am not sure I can even identify that odor but it isn’t pleasant. Maybe a little skunky. Light bitterness and body.
