Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pause. *Deep Breath.* In a small town in El Salvador there lived a 17 year old boy named Cardenas. One afternoon, while eating a tuna fish sandwich that his mother Lupe prepared for him, Cardenas’ thoughts strayed to life’s simple pleasures. He thought to himself, "I love three things in this life: 1. Beer 2. Star Trek 3. Turning shit blue that has no business being blue. As the warm afternoon sun poured through the plastic slotted blinds of the dining room, a question began to formulate inside Cardenas’ mind. "If I had the capacity to combine all the things I love into one experience my life would be complete. Maybe, I could do this with a beer... Afterall my dad does own a brewery where no one speaks a word of English and the staff is comprised entirely of colorblind retards. Maybe...just maybe, if I made a blue Star Trek themed beer, my life would be complete. Cardenas’ pen scratched away on a nearby paper towel as he imagined the details of this imaginary bastard beer. For aroma he wrote: 1. Fish 2. Metal 3. Nursing home Jello with generic marshmallows And for taste he wrote: 1. Gum drops soaked in rain water. In that hour, by creating a product so heinous, so ridiculous, and so self serving, Cardenas unknowingly damned his own soul to the innermost circle of hell. God help you Cardenas.

Bottle...Not sure why I am getting blamed for bringing this to the DFW crew, it was on table when I arrived. Pours a clear blue with short lasting light blue fizzy head. Aroma has a bit of berry to as well as dried corn. Flavor is very much the same with faint hop. Mouth feel is light body and high carbonation. Overall, not sure how to feel about this.

bottle, thanks to eric and stephen, clear blue that reminds you of toilet bowl cleaner, anitseptic looking, aroma and flavor of lifeless grains, sweet fruity finish

Clear bottle thanks to swalden28 and ericandersnavy. Pours with a...clear blue body...fading white head...what the hell...seriously...

Aroma is sour, corn, salty and metallic. Taste is watery, cardboard and pretty horrible. Thin and watery ,outhfeel.

Definitely looks like I’m drinking a chemical cleaning solution. guessing my pee will be blue tommorrow. Aroma isnt that bad. Has that heavy cereal grain aroma like you get in some German and South American brews,its distinct and clean. Taste is also grain and adjunct of some kind,lighter then the aroma would indicate,a slight little sweetness, and a strange metallic ,almost copper penny taste in finish,makes me think thats the dyeing agent,which you would assume to be tasteless. Except for that aftertaste, as good as any other S.A. lager. That blue color just freaks me out

Cheap macro shit but it’s BLUE!! And it’s called Romulan Ale for fucks sake! Smells like bud light, looks like Romulan Ale, Tastes like bud light, watery, but overall fuckin awesome! Only thing better would be this brew in a monster blue barley wine! Fucking El Salvador of all the shit holes in the world! Way to go USA, dropped the fuckin ball again. Need some fuckin Tranya now!!

12 oz bottle with thanks to my mother. Pours teal (that’s right) with a light blue head. Aroma is rather skunky for a while, but also has sweet malts that take over eventually before themselves dying back quite a bit. Flavor is mostly nonexistent, giving just the slightest hint of pale malts present. No flavors also means no off flavors, leading to an all around verdict of "inoffensive" and leaving me having no idea how to assign some numbers. Unexpectedly by the end I think there’s some extent to which I’d rather drink a pale lager with some off flavors than one with no flavors, so I think this ends up at a 1.5.

Poured, well, blue. A short white head appeared and was gone in a flash. No lacing. The aroma was corn and sugars. The flavor was corn and sugars. Didn’t taste as bad as I expected it too. Mouthfeel was thin and there wasn’t much carbonation. I’m super geeked I got to try this!
