Mountaineer Lager

Bottle courtesy of Dansting. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to try a brew from West Virginia, Dan. Pours a clear gold with a tiny cap of white bubbles which reduces to a thin ring clinging to the glass and a tiny wisp at the surface. This smells like a rice wine: uber-sweet and lightly banana-like. Kinda weird. The palate is oddly thin while simultaneously being overly effervescent with a dry peroxide-like finish. Like a bad rice wine mixed with hydrogen peroxide. I’m not sure what they were going for with this one, but this is an odd bird.

12 oz bottle courtesy of the man of many states, Dansting. Pour is clear golden, flat with pretty much no head. Almost looked like a Pinot Grigio in the glass. Aroma of sharp sweet adjunct - rice, corn, who knows what. Really terrible nose. Shockingly bad, in fact. Taste is flat cardboard, with a flat nutty cardboard. Also not good. Didn’t notice the palate, so must not have been out of the ordinary. Thanks for sharing this with us? Kidding, Dan, always appreciated when you bring back beers from your adventures.

Looks like water with yellow food coloring added. The aroma is cidery, buttery, and caramel corn. It tastes like somebody boiled some corna and bottled the water. I can’t comment on the palate, because the awful flavor was too distracting. Really, find a different beer for you WV tick.

12 fl oz bottle, trade with lck5023 - thanks Laura! Pours clear yellow and with a lacing white head. Mild citrusy and slight cardboardish dry aroma. Flavour is mild fruity towards sweet cornish. Subdued caramel note. Ends mild fruity and vague bitter. Goes dry into the far finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear golden with a white head. Sweet candy-like aroma. Light in body with vague malty accents and a completely absent bitterness. 220608
