12 oz single, $1.19 from Green’s on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Glad to finally catch up with this beer. Oddly I have quite high expectations for it!
Pour is a murky, unattractive iced-tea like affair with a very poor head and as a resut little retention or lace. Body is an ugly, rust color that does not invite one in.
Carbonation is a little on the high side which gives the beer an off, fizzy sensation – again, not good.
Initially the tastes seem OK with some yeasty malts up front and some decent sweetness, but pretty soon it gets a bit acidic and thin. At first it seemed like this was going to drink something like a Gordon Biersch Marzen, but pretty quickly it declined into an acidic beer that gave me a little heartburn. In the end the sweet and sour effect did not save the beer and I was disappointed.
I thought this might have been better, but ultimately I guess I got sucked in. Not good.
