This has got some funk aroma to it. Wow, this is not good. Quite a bit of malt, but some butter and other funk as well. After that pretty decent hefe, I was expected more out of this beer of the month. Ick.

revans (39) - Salem, Ohio, USA - FEB 3, 2009
Bottle and tap. Gold color. Decent head that dissipates rather quickly. Good thirst quencher on a hot day.

Beer of the month club. Expected better. Very thin body with some macro flavor. I would pass on this one.

golubj (1373) - San Mateo, California, USA - JAN 28, 2009
Bottle. Clearish yellow with a small amount of white head. Aroma is sweet corn, banana and sugar. Flavor is the same, buttery also, to go with the banana and sweet corn. Maybe some faint hopping.

EithCubes (3053) - GERMANY - JAN 10, 2009
Bottle. Grainy-earthy nose with a little yeast. Sickly pale golden color with a soapy white head. Metallic, acidic taste with greasy, grassy citrus and a little corn. Very very faint Hallertauer. Watery body with medium carbonation. Hollow, and you guys are all crazy for rating this over 3.

Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - NOV 1, 2008
Worst of the bunch. Extra watery lager with a metallic finish. Some wet grain in there. Dull dull dull.

sebletitje (4011) - Enghien, BELGIUM - NOV 1, 2008
Pours clear golden, white head. Aroma si hoppy, with citrus and floral notes. Taste, malty with some light caramel, grainy, leaves a typical metalic lager aftertaste. Bitter hoppy finish. Nothing worth trying again.

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - OCT 5, 2008
Bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells lightly citrussy with some sweet malt. Tastes light and dry with a peppery splash on the finish.
