Well it is as “Blue” as it was described to me by “Scotty”, and “Geez” I hope it doesn’t turn my teeth blue! The pours a deep sapphire blue (That’s my birthstone), with a modest bright sky blue head that is frothy in its texture with the residue a fine albeit thin bit of lace. Neutral zone nose, sweet and fresh like “Deanna Trois” perfume, start sweet like “Tranya”, the top as thin as the “strings” in the “String Theory”. Finish acidic, but not near as bad as the “Horta”, Hops are as meek as the “Tribbles”, dry as the planet “Vulcan. As a life long “Trekkie”, I had to try it.

A friend of mine from work (let’s call him Eric Frank) brought this beer back from Vegas for me. Thanks Eric!! Well, it’s definitely a novelty beer. I mean, it’s blue for Christsakes. I thought it might not even be beer, but it actually is. It smells great..it actually smelled a lot like Pilsner Urquell or like some of the German pilsners I’ve had. I suspect that this brew isn’t really an ’ale’ at all, but rather a pilsner lager. But we’ll forgive them that for the name sake. Well, drinking a blue beer (and I mean dark almost navy blue) isn’t that great for a guy like me who appreciates the true or real color of beer. The beer let me down after the smell...it really didn’t have the flavor to back up the smell. Sort of bland. But hey, it’s cool to drink a different beer every now and again, and this brew is certainly different! On a side note this beer turned by tongue, teeth, piss and shit blue. So if you’re adverse to having your body (and it’s functions) change colors stay far away from it!!

Tastes like any average light beer. The blue is awesome - except it does turn your teeth blue.

Bottled. Ok. For you non-Trekkies. Romulan Ale is supposed to be blue. Being the semi-Trekkie that I am I had to get this. Actually I was surprised that this wasn't all the way swill. It tasted like a cheap yellow beer. Oh that's right this is made in El Salvador so hence the taste. It was a little sweet most likely from the coloring. Yes it will make your tongue and teeth blue. Hey you only live once .

Ok, there are a lot of Star Trek Geeks out there, and I don't consider myself half as bad as most. My frined on the other hand is the epitotime of a Star Trek "fan" (being nice). For his Bachlor party, we went to Vegas and the Star Trek Experience, where this was on tap. Well, I decided to give it a go. It was decent. It gets major cool points for the color, not to mention it's a good drink to have while talking to a Klingon. Just don't say you support the Romulan's, or you may have a war on your hands.
