Mar 17, 2006 A bit darker in color with some barely noticable caramel notes but virtually idential in smell and flavor to the original Ultra. Why?

Mar 23, 2006 Bottle... Let’s go swillin’ since the cold & flu medicine is providing no relief for my aching head and body... Clear, amber lager with a small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention... Ok, they got all that right! Looks so good, I can’t wait to smell it... should’ve waited. Earthy, lightly malty aroma with notes of black pepper and about fifty varieties of hops forced together in an unholy marriage. I really CAN wait to taste this one, but here goes... not so good. A touch malty for a low-carb beer. Otherwise, medicinal and then, even more medicinal. I can’t describe it as well as I would like, but I can say that it’s not much better than the cough syrup I’ve been living on the past few days. Light-bodied and creamy actually, with fizzy carbonation. Finishes a tad too sweet and, again, medicinal. Poor choice of remedies on my part. However, I’m going to give it a few points for actually tasting like beer instead of seltzer water... bad beer, but beer nonetheless. I’m going to chase this one quickly with a Troeg’s Nugget Nectar and Victory Hop Wallop. Those will surely cure my ills!

Mar 13, 2006 12 oz bottle from City Market in Burlington (March 2006) inflicted upon ClarkVV and sadly shared with him. The pour isn’t too bad, light clear amber with lots of bubbling action, big foamy head that disappears fairly quicky (though not instantly as some macros are wont to do)....nose is not so bad either, some caramelized grain that actually smells "real" if you know what I mean, though it is interrupted by a noticeable DMS/corn character; really this isn’t offensive at all to the nostrils....but unfortunately and not surprisingly, it is pretty bad to the mouth, watery and totally dry, minerallic and thin, with no real caramel flavor at all in it; no "amber" taste if you will.....lightly spoiled, sour character builds as it heats up at all beyond fridge temp. Still, for an A-B product this is probably above average. What does that say, America?
