Ellis Island Casino & Brewery

 

 

 

Fresh brewed BMC. Good if you're in an un-critical mood.

If i brewed this myself I'd be happy, but I'd vow to do better next time.

 

 

Looks like BMC. Nothing that smells like beer here.

Taste had something off to it, did they dry hop it with carpet? What is that funky, particle board bitterness? I just didn't get this beer, it didn't have much in the way of beer qualities other than the appearance. You'd get sick before you got a buzz or enjoyment out of this.

 

 

 

 

This beer is meant to be the easiest swill to comp people so they get a little more buzz to get a little more $ free into those slot machines.

Looks a little more substantial than BMC light adjunct lagers, but still constitutes a fizzy yellow beer, but there are no defects other than that color we fear sometimes. Smell, I dunno if it didn't have any smell and simply made me get the smell of the semi homeless townies, cigarettes and 70s shag carpeting, but those things were certainly more prevalent than anything resembling hops, malt or yeast. Taste wasn't just bland, blands don't get 2.0, blands do better, this is slight off flavor territory.

This is mostly annoying to drink, its makes you eager for your next beer. Easily could be confused for Natural Light.

The first of the four beers that I had on my Christmas visit to the Karaoki bar-- don't ask.

Straight forward enough, the beer is a timid, lightly flavored lager that showcases a thin pilsner malt profile with light esters and sulfer compounds (match sticks). A light, fresh, dry hop presence is the only reprieve from the emptiness of the malts. The beer is consistent from the nose, through the flavors, and into the texture. Finishes airy and clean, like a light pilsner should. No frills, light, and simple. The Bud-Miller-Coors drinkers should find a home with this one.

Tasted on-tap 02/26/07 at the Ellis Island Casino & Brewery in Las Vegas, NV.

Clear straw color with a low white head and good carbonation. Light adjunct aroma and flavor with a touch of corn on the finish. Light bodied and easy drinking for a brewpub Light beer.

Per EI website:

Sample at the brewpub: This beer is a clear, almost colorless pale gold color with a thin white head and very little lacing. The aroma is nonexistent in this one. Light-bodied and similar to soda water, with a faint hops flavor and nothing more. The finish is okay, if flavorless. I guess this beer would do in a 10 hour gambling stint.

This beer poured a clear golden yellow with white foam. The aroma was light and malty. The taste was very very thin. It was malty with almost no hops detectable. The mouthfeel was extremely thin and watered down. The drinkability was not very good, mostly because it is so thin.
