Moosehead has little aroma. The color is a light golden with a small rapidly diminishing white head. There is little taste except for some slight bitterness and not much aftertaste.

Rerated 1-19-06. Paying a bit closer attention this time. It’s still a pale lager, but the aroma was pleasantly fruity nothing skunky about this beer in the least. Palate was decent. Not much in the way of hops :( //Hmm... Paler lager equals crap. End of story. Nothing against this Moosehead, it’s just that this style of beer is dead to me. I am waiting to taste a pale lager which I like... a pale lager which rates higher than 3.0 on the website. Until I have tried a better pale lager, I will never knowingly pay money for a beer which is a pale lager. This was beer #46 for me at the WBF in Durham.

Decent flavor and refreshing. Doesn’t stand out that much too me. Typical taste for a lager of this quality

12oz Bottle: In a nutshell, very weak. Nothing noteworthy here. Not the slightest bit of complexity. No aroma at all. Little to no carbonation. Pours a very pale gold, and leave absolutely no head. Extremely thin feel, just like water. Only the aftertaste lets you know that you even drank a beer. Essentially only bought this to get the caps for a bar that I’ll probably make in a few years. Other than that, totally useless.

Bottle. Pours gold with few bubbles and a small white edgy head with lined lacing. Sour malt (grain) and adjunct notes with yeast (sweat) aroma with faint hop notes. Mild sour malt, yeast flavor with a clean malt finish. Light and fizzy palate, refreshing.

Eh browny points for the name. There is no aroma. Taste actually has soem grapefruity hops, though as it warms they taste artificial, dry finish.

bottle. The smell on this is thankfully rather weak, because what is there is pretty much just some skunk and other garbage. This goes down pretty corny sweet at first then The Hay kicks in. Lots of hay. This actually isn’t completely nauseating, but I can’t bring myself to finish a whole one either.

Bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with white detergent-like head. The aroma is kinda grainy with a bit of skunk. The flavor is HAY. Lots and lots of hay. Especially in the finish. Drinking this makes me feel like I’ve been put to pasture.
