Funny. I must have drunk this beer a million times. How so? It's the beer that The Brick Store kept (and I believe STILL keeps) on as their 'American macro alternative'. That's a little harsh, but TBH it's true. It offers a completely clear...
Black Rye Kolsch? Morons. Rick & Robbie need stringing up. Essentially it's an over-hopped Schwarzbier in terms of how it drinks. Black body with plenty of brown highlights. Nose is a malty one, that of a Schwarzbier and the head is hight,...
12 oz single from The Beer Dispensary, Apex, NC, USA. Kolsch? Nope. Pour gives a cloudy, mid orange body with a large, frothy, fluffy off-white head that leaves some sticky lace. The nose instantly gives a fairly significant blast of hops, and the...
12 oz single, Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Lovely, beautifully carbonated, golden yellow pour with a pillow-like, fluffy head that gives some nice lace. The beer is very lively and adds a certain anticipation of the taste. Looks great. Light citrus...
12 oz single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Part of a big clearance that they have been having of these beers. The final one of the four 12 oz presentations (they have had Lust, too) that Green's have been carrying. Well, I dunno; Kolsch?...
$3.99 from Riverside Beverage in Chattanooga, TN, USA for the 22 oz bomber and subsequently $4.29 for the bomber at Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA; exactly as depicted in the BA db picture. Informative label with ABV, IBU, style, OG and other...
Big thanks go out to casemw for the chance to try this one. 12 oz single as seen in the BA database. Pour produces a small head with some lace, but a strange, slightly cloudy light orange body. Nose lacks any kind of presence. Corny sugar? A lot of...
Growler from Charleston Beer Exchange, Charleston, SC, USA, shared with a few at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA as part of the regular Friday afternoon informal tastings. Pour is a completely clear, paler than macro yellow body with a wispy,...
My first opportunity to try something from Saint Arnold. Certainly not their most vaunted beer, but one that I am happy to try thanks to stopbarking. Pour is an impressive slightly clouded orange with a big, ice-cream like head. A small amount of...
Additional notes 08/08/26 (Pictured) I've probably had this a couple of times between 2008 and 2026, but TBH not many. Head and lace better than the notes below would suggest. I can see why I wrote what I did below, but those notes also feel a...
Thanks to Vancer as part of CEO/Old Farts BIF. 12oz single bottle. Poured into the Tucher Weizen, 0.5L glass. Pale golden body, distinct lack of head, carbonation and lace despite an aggressive pour. Cloudiness present. Extremely mild beer - very...
Thanks to BEERchitect for the opportunity to try this one. 12oz bottle. No lace or head after the initial aggressive pour. My understanding is that this beer is called "Light" to help it sell amongst the BMC crowd, and it is not supposed to be a...
Thanks to Travis as part of Blue Max BIF 48. 12 oz can. I have to admit that I was a bit suspicious. Very new brewery and a style that I am not really fond of, but I should have known better. If Travis says it's OK then it's fine with me. Good...
Nice looker, clear golden color and a small head and a little lacing. Light peppery flavor is the over-riding experience here. Dryish finish with some mild hop flavor. Not much balance of malt apparent, but becasue the hop flavor is reserved and...
I'm not all that familiar with the style, but this was still a crushingly disappointing effort all around. These beers really need to be be produced very carefully otherwise you get marginally better (or sometimes even poorer) versions of adjunct...
This really was disappointing. The reason I say that is that my other Flying Dog experiences have been generally very positive. The pour is a really pale yellow color with a non-existent head, a very ordinary looking beer. Taste was a little tart...
