It's inoffensive, especially to women. It's not bitter. It's best served while taking the temperature down. Guaranteed not to overstay its welcome in your fridge.

How do you spell RELIEF? Biden Beer.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a small white head. Smells of sweet grain, a hint of wheat and citrus. Tastes of some wheat with nice crisp grain and very slight fruit. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

16oz can featuring Joe Biden's face and an obnoxious screed on the back

Cloudy with a mild scent. Very bready and much more hoppy than expected. Malt and grass and bitter. Refreshing stuff, but I hate the divisive politics involved in the branding. Just let me drink beer

Found at Woodman's Kenosha. Carries the funny tag line "Inoffensive & Not Bitter Kolsch."
Poured into my stange, I drank it side-by-side with Kid Kolsch (offered by my second most favorite brewer, New Glarus.) The analogy is useful because it is like a 2nd generation success mentoring a newbie 4th Generation... which I consider Minocqua. They, like New Glarus, also both only distribute in Wisconsin. And for a bit of mentorship, NG was selected by the Obama Administrator and awarded a special prize for entrepreneurship. NG also is employee-owned while Minocqua probably will be if it survives the next decade.

About Biden Beer, I like the side-by-side also. While Kid is a towhead and Biden is pale, they Look alike particularly the foam. Both have cereal Smells. Both Tastes are balanced, but the Kid more so as Biden finishes semi-dry. Both are refreshing and medium-mouthed. Biden could improve by being less dry, but as advertised there is no bitterness involved.

But the analogy weakens because NG appears to keep its business out of politics and Minocqua does a face-plant. Go on their website. Their four main beers are named after Biden, Kamal, Bernie and ending gerrymandering. Personally, I love this stuff. But if Minocqua survives in red, rural land-of-lakes counties of 'sconsin, then we have to conclude that every liberal flocked to their taproom and/or intentionally asked for their beer in stores and that we truly are a divided nation who consumes beer like we consume information. More on that later.

8/16/21 After being shellacked by the media and those that approved of prolonging the Afghanistan debacle, I felt sorry for Biden doing the right thing. So, I drank a second can named in his honor. It went well with an all-American dinner of burgers and fresh corn on the cob. Editing the above review and satisfied that I've done the right thing, I'm keeping count over at UnTappd for the 6 pack I bought in support of our country when it needs it most.
