Bottle. Burnt rubber/creasote aroma - only the slightest hint of malt. Golden yellow color wiht small head. Rubber and ginseng flavor - no sweetness. I’m not a huge fan of ginseng to begin with but would have welcomed it here over the vile rubber smell and taste.

This spiced/herb beer pours a fizzy yellow gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Infused with taurine, ginseng, caffeine and thiamine this beer smell like a Flintstones Vitamins bottle, Probably the thiamine. A light bodied lager. Malts are mild. Sort of neutral tasting, most of the flavor seems to come from the carbonation. Stuff isn’t that bad, but I have to take an overall point away from it for the aroma. I can’t rate the aroma a negative number. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is neutral.

This was a strange one. A white head topped a cloudy dark yellow body. The aroma was grass and lemon scented dish soap. The taste was grassy with tobacco and old hot tea that has sat out too long. This is bitter and earthy tasting.

Columbia, SC - Total Wines - 12 oz green bottle. Light golden - urine sample-like cloudy with a faint frothy head. Faint aroma of soggy cereal. No real discernible flavor. Maybe a trace of corn, faint traces of day old chewing gum. Artificial mouthfeel. Not worth the $1.49 i paid for it.

The aroma is medicinal with no apparent beer elements. The appearance is pale gold with a huge head. The flavor is nasty like the aroma. The palate is thin. This is quite honestly the worst beer I have had to date.

Bottle, brought by NachlamSie. It pours a really weird greenish yellow, but with a very attractive tall, white head, I must admit. The aroma is pretty weird... skunky at first, but it goes away quickly; then it is weak but very herbal and medicinal. The flavor is very sweet, then comes hay, then comes the weird herbs and medicine that come across in the nose. The finish is chalky and leaves an aftertaste that is definitely ginseng. This beer wasn’t a very good idea. I don’t find it as undrinkable as the past raters, but I can tell you that I will probably not finish this bottle and I will definitely not drink it again.

Smells like a Flinstones Vitamin pill bottle.......Mobius meet the mobius, its a freakin nasty beer, from the town of Greenville its a page right out of suckery. Cloudy yellow apperance with a mediciney flavor. The mouthfeel is carbonated. Not good.

UPDATED: OCT 31, 2007 Bottle. I’m very surprised to see this is rated so high after my encounter with this hideous beast. It pours a very hazy peach color with a soapy white head. The stench, oh, the stench. It’s not the worst smelling beer ever, mainly because I did have to hold the glass two inches or closer to my nose to bring tears to my eyes. This foul liquid reeks of skunk with chalk, rubber, medicine, and hints of pineapple in a fumbling mess. This is really rank. Now, I’m supposed to put this crap in my mouth? I guess so. This tastes very stale with artificial flavors abound. Reminds me of a multivitamin tablet covered in mold which provides an unpleasant biterness which can only make me think of items that should be inedible. I took four or five sips to try come up with anything other than medicine, mold, or chalk. To my dismay 80% or more of this "beer" remained in the glass after my sampling. Shortly thereafter, it went down the drain. ------ 31, 2007] What a great beer for Halloween because this scares the piss out of me. I willfully sought this beast out again because my buddies could not understand how bad this is without actually trying it. Upon purchase, the manager tried to give me the rest of the 5 bottles at a discount because he wanted rid of them. I politely declined and he ended up giving me another one for free anyway. Hah. Joke’s on me. So, I open up the bottle and instantly detect skunk spray. A pour reveals a semi-cloudy pale yellow with a small head. It actually looks all right. I want to give it a 2 in appearance. I mean, I generally try to be objective and fair in my ratings. I gave St. Pauli Girl Dark a 3 or 4 for appearance because it actually looks pretty good. But no, this beer does not even deserve fairness or sympathy of any kind. It doesn’t even deserve the most basic gesture of good will or positive critiquing. The stench is very harsh. Skunk right up front and once I almost get adjusted to that I detect creosote, plastic, and a waste bin. Nothing that I should put in my mouth comes to mind, no item that might be deemed ingestible. The flavor is savage and unforgiving in its merciless rape on my palate. It tastes much like vitamins. Not chewable vitamins, but the kind you are supposed to pop in your mouth and swallow whole before you can taste it. There’s a bitterness that develops on the palate which is similar to that piece of bread that’s been sitting on the counter long enough to get fuzzy. The taste is sticky and persistent. I refuse to believe people actually drink this. Mobius is not a good idea.
