Weak ice tea brown with strong head and pretty hazy. Hop aroma predominates. Flavor is bland yet sour. No real aftertaste, but then there wasn’t any taste to be after. I wondered why I was not familiar with this brewery, but the last two samples tell me why. It may be the bottleing, but I’m not sure I’d risk a trip to the brewery based on these.

The combination of diacetyl and the bordering-on-offensive house yeast funk give the impression of buttered toe cheese.

i dont really know what to say about this....appearance is its strong suit (orangish brownish golden body)....aroma is of a Hindu princess (wet socks, sugar, butter, cinnamon, dirty laundry, garbage, and very sweat-like)...flavor tastes like the Hindu princess’ clothing...sweat stained, kitchen smelling (bad curry), butter...i bet Shaq’s socks taste like this...i shared a bottle and barely choked it down....it sorta reminds me of what a fat man would smell like after his skin fused to the bed sheets due to his lack of activity....plus the added hints of food from the head-board behind his fat and disgusting garbage disposal of a head....YUCK

On tap at the brewery. First off let me say this. I am shocked that this is rated so low. I definately feel that this should get a second look from some people. Another thing, the waitress/bartender told me that this was a new batch. Apparently they have small/limited equipement and are frequently making new batches. She didnt say that things have been changed but she said that it was "new batch" so maybe thats where my rating is comming from.

Goldish in color with a thin white head. THe nose is very sweet with hops slight bits of grass. Little bits of metal taste I think from the containers not from the ingredietens. The taste was very pleasant. Not overly hopped but it was definately there. Again, sweet. Overall it was very drinkable and quite good really. I would definately drink this again.

Bottle. Straw yellow with hardly a head. Aroma is light wheat with some grassiness to it. This liquid is a pure waste of a perfectly good bottle and cap. These Leopold Brothers should be ashamed to sell this stuff. The flavors don’t go together at all. Stragne hop taste and corn juice somehow make the whole concoction somehow sour.
