Perhaps a bad bottle? Skunky nose reminded me of moosehead. Really horrible. Sort of a sweet and slightly sour body. Dry finish. There really isn’t a good reason for them to bring this beer down the mountain, across the sea etc...

Bottle. Medium high fluffy and quickly disappearoíng jhead. Clear golden body. Sprry mates one more of thse "muddy waters" aromaed beers. Non-interesting baarley malt with hay or may strraw notes. I do not like it. Flavor might be ruinned by corn or rice´, I am not sure. One more beer to sewer (wonder if tis verb exists) suickly. Waste of money. High carbonation (bad). Short aftertasste (good here).

Bottle @ Odense tasting. Golden yellow body with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and nail polish-ish. Flavor is fruity and light hops.

Plain pale lager with nothing worth mentioning about it. Simple and boring.

Ooh that smell... skunked corn. Phew. Stiff yellow color, quickly dissipating head. Tasted nothing like what I thought it would, might be one of the sweetest tasting beers I’ve had. Not much aftertaste, in fact not much taste at allbesides a quick rush of sweet. Then nothing. Avoid.

Can @ Odense Tasting, Jan 2011. Pours cloudy golden with a off white head. Fruit, corn and dust. Tart and mouldy aroma. Thin palate.

Burnt Beer Night: "beer of character for people of character" Is this any thing like a "rapist’s wit"? Pale yellow color. Skunked aroma and taste with a bit of grain for good measure. Chucked this one into the lake in a hurry.

4.6% ABV
Blond to golden color. Light, dry, malt aroma. The taste can be quickly forgotten! Almost skunky final. Bad choice.

Poured gold, steady stream of bubbles, but little head and no lacing. Palate was on the verge of "mushy". Malts were apple sweet then gained acidity. Finish was dry, but the sweetness lingered on.
