Well I guess there’s not much too say that hasn’t been said, so I’ll say that overall I like Mcneill’s brews. This one not so much. Aroma has a funky smoke to it, oh yeah this bottle is from last christmas, so I have no idea how much older it may be. Poured a dark hazened yellow. Flavor is grainy to me. Palate isn’t anything to complain about this just wasn’t for me. Maybe I’ll crack that imperial stout soon.

Slighlty hazy amber color, with a small ring of a head. Burnt plastic aroma with notes of plums. Grassy bitter flavor, with grainy, cereal-like malts. Not my cup of tea.

Thanks to Frylock for this one. Orangey copper body, thin tan head. Nose is kind of plasticy - some orange & lemon. Very boozy - cereal, lemon, orange, caramel. Doughy bready finish. Very grassy.

Big time drain pour. Aroma wasn’t bad, very citrusy. Pooked nice, cloudy of course. Flavor was obnoxiously strong citrus and soap, like rotten fruit dish soap.

Pours amber with a thin rim of white bubbles. Smells of citrus and some sugar. Taste is very citrussy with some caramel on the finish.
