16.9 oz bottle

Pours a pale straw color with a small white head that maintains. Minor lacing on the glass.

Faint aroma of pilsner malt with just a bit of herbal hops.

Very weak pilsner malt taste upfront with a mild sweetness. Faint herbal hop taste and mild bitterness. Finishes clean and bland.

Thin body, ample carbonation.

Well, for $2 this is about what I expected. Easy enough to slug down, as nothing about this beer is meant to be savored.

Came in a brown half liter bottle with a good looking multi-colored label. Ingredients conform to the purity law. Expiration date was 10/8/03, I opened it on 7/26/03.

A standard pour produced a horrible thin white head with huge bubbles. Fortunately, I didn't have to look at that head for long. The liquid itself was a reasonably healthy golden hue, but oh that head! The nose was nasty - iodine, sulfur and bad fruit. The mouth was flat and sweetish. The initial taste was medicinal - acidic, sour, syrupy. I was stunned to note a fairly nice hop finish after all that nastiness. The aftertaste retained a bit of the bitterness, but far more of the sour sweetness.

I suspect that this was a bad bottle, as I don't remember the on tap version I had before becoming a BA as being this bad. Or, perhaps, I'm just more sober now...
