This wasn't a very good beer. It may have been too old, but it just tasted funky. Stale fruity taste that was very off putting. No discernable hops.

Not bad. Poured at a good temperature with a mammoth, foamy, very frothy, light, off-white head that soon settles to a cover that then is there for the duration and some lace. Color is a crystal clear pale yellow with lots of bubble trails. Aroma is mainly yeast, with some malt, spice, grain. Flavor is like nose, sweet up front, then carbonic tang and a bit of bitter and lemon. Fairly simple flavors. Body is ok and is highly effervescent giving a mouth filling sensation. Finish is like flavor, short in length, and leaves little impact. Not bad beer, could drink more.

A: This damn bottle almost took my head off when the cork exploded and gushed everywhere. It took 15 minutes to pour. There is a light haze and golden/orange color. Once I can actually pour this the massive white foam head recedes to nothing. Not much lace.
S: Earthy, rustic, peppery yeast. Grassy, lemonny hops in the finish. Mostly yeast, but enjoyable.
T: Really one dimensional. Earthy, peppery yeast with a bit of a lemon twang in the back end.
M/D: A light to medium body. Crisp, but thin at the same time. Not hard all to drink. Probably not something I am going to grab very often, but fairly enjoyable.
It was a chore to actually pour this. Once I got past that, this was pretty one dimensional. Considering the price for this is about $13 (and I don't usually comment about price), not something I am going to revisit soon.
