This the second beer tatsed from The Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company at the Mellow Mushroom in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The darker color like a brown ale was inviting but the sweetness overpowered the beer. I could not taste the pecans. I like a hoppery beer. I would not put this world class category.

Slightly disappointing. A keg of this costs upwards of $50. It was gone in one night of partying with friends. Friends loved it and I enjoyed it myself. I drank about 10 of them that night. I kept putting them in the freezer to get them colder though. To me this is a mark of a lower quality beer. It is good, don’t get me wrong - for Alabama (but it’s actually from Mississippi, the one state worse than Alabama!). But not a world class beer.

On tap at the Steam Room Grill in Jackson. Pours a clear amber color with a medium off white head. Has a faint hop and malt aroma. Flavor is slightly nutty and smokey. Easy to drink with a semi sweet finish.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2008 Love this stuff. Only bad thing about this beer is my wife is now drinking it, so there’s less for me. Not it’s in bottles. Only problem is, it’s hard to find because everyone is buying it.

This is one of my favorite beers. It has an excellent flavor and is not harsh at all. I recommend it to people who want to start trying darker beers.

Nice clear brown with a very subtle aroma and flavor of pecan and malt. Very clean, lightly dry finish. tasty.

Draft pour, sampled at the First ever Magic City Brew Fest. Copper color with a light off white head. Very clear. Minimal aroma though you do get some light sweetness and hints of nut. A bit more hop presence in the flavor than I expected. The sweetness is there but it’s subdued and there is a nutty presence but it’s not as forward as I expected. I certainly did not think Pecan. Creamy mouth feel. Exciting only because I can know off another state from the list.

Draught. Nice dark, copper-colored beer. Decent head. Hard to pin down any specific flavors but, a good-tasting beer.

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2008 Had it from Pig, on tap, and in bottle. It’s a solid Brown Ale, though I think the flavor profile fits more in with amber ales. As with most Lazy Mag brews, head retention is weak, but it’s the flavor that counts! Great amber color. Flavor is malty with slight hint of nuts but not sweet, I suspect the pecans hold the sweetness in check, as they can be quite bitter. Low hop rate. The finish of this beer is where it shines. It finishes very clean, little/no aftertaste. Is a unique taste, that should be tried by any beer enthusiast. Not the greatest beer, or even brown ale for that matter, but well put together and more than worth the purchase. Like most beer this one suffers when served real cold. More so than most beers the flavors of Southern Pecan really bloom as they warm. 1-08 Update Now available in 12 oz. bottles.
