Tap at airport. I didn’t catch the Marijuana unfortunately, it only would have served to improve this specimen. Yellow and fizzy. No real Saaz bite. Thin and bland. I suppose if the SE US is a beer wasteland then this is a true outpost. I wish Dogwood were at the airport instead!!!

I too sampled this at the Atlanta Airport. It is an interesting sample for one reason - a reason I find it humorous that no one has of yet seen fit to writingly observe here on Ratebeer.com. It smells - and tastes - like marijuana. I have never had any beer like this. I would not say it was good - but I was surprised as anything by its druggy aroma and potent, somewhat offensive taste. The beer head [Schaum] did not remain very long, nor was it very thick or creamy like I like it. This was a disappointing but memorable beer. One good thing about it I guess is that it is 5.5%, slightly above average in percentage of alcohol content. The Red Brick Ale is slightly better in taste, but still not very good.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2004 On tap in the Atlanta Airport. Good honey gold appearance with a poofy head. Very light aroma, what was there was a bit hoppy. I was disappointed with this beer, even though I was looking to sooth my jangled flying nerves. Robustly hopped and somewhat yeast-moldy, moderate sweetness. Body went a bit watery in the end, and the aftertaste didn't hang around. The overall effect of the beer was a bit clumsy.

Had on tap at their brewpub in Concourse T at the Atlanta Airport. Light golden appearance, nice lacing - had a sweet citrusy honey aroma to it. Bold, crisp flavor for a lager. A little too much carbonation in the finish, however.

Similar in taste to the Goose Island Pils, that is, very sweet. Some hops but not as much in the tradition of the style as I would have hoped for.
