A helles? That is very generous. This is a pale lager. It has a chemical aroma of a barbershop. Rotten corn. Very light on the palate and light flavor. Unfortunately it doesn’t get to the point of tasteless, rather, it just tastes bad.

Never having sampled real horse piss, I won’t compare this to its namesake. This was a joke offering from Mamabeer and her papabeer. All in good fun and so it was taken. You never know what lurks behind a gimmick name and label. In this case, it was a flat, watery, fairly tasteless beer that gave our C-U Beer Club meeting a few laughs.

Is this for real? The one good thing about this beer is that with a name like "Horse Piss", you don’t really get into it expecting much. However, I can say that it probably does taste better than actual horse piss...but I’d still be interested to see the results of a blind taste test. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. Nothing about the appearance makes me want to get even remotely involved with this beer. The aroma doesn’t do much either. The taste is of stale corn flakes cereal. An awkward sweetness. Has basically no bitterness at all. Fortunately, no long lasting after taste.

From bottle. August Dayton Beer Tasting event - Favorite Summer Brews. Brought as a joke (I hope). Thin, skunky, nasty, etc. Nuf’ said........

What kind of marketing genius thought that it would be a good idea to call a beer "Horse Piss"? Found this at the party store in Covington. Pale yellow, looked very bubbly, but palate was soft and weak. Some sweet aroma, didn’t smell very good. Taste was weak and corn sweeteened. very bad.

12oz bottle. Huh, looks like piss. Aroma of straw. You know how your urine smells like asparagus after you consumed it? Horses eat hay right? There ya go! Tastes like water and hay. Adjunct heaven, Just awful. 14 march 09

Bottle. Sweet, faintly grassy aroma with much stronger tones of corn and off notes (herbs and asparagus). Watery body, very cabonated, taste of corn flakes and light bitterness, a twinge of metal, and ending dryness. Who says there’s no truth in advertising?

yeah this pretty much tasted like someone had mixed mountain dew with a bud light. cant rate it any lower or i would.

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.
