Slightly hazed yellow pour with medium carbonation. No lace, head retention comprises of only a thin layer of scum like foam across the extent of the body. Nose reveals no more than neutral, bready malts. Colossally neutral beer. Light bread, tiny...
$3.65 for the "pleasure" of a 12 oz bottle at Buffalo Wild Wings, Douglasville, GA, USA. Pour is about as expected in terms of a ridiculously pale color and an alarming lack of head, retention and lace. I say "alarming" since this kind of beer is...
Six pack brought by a guest for dinner. Well, it is what it is. Slightly disconcerting, neon-like, fluorescent yellowish/green appearance. Urine comes to mind with an absolute clarity. I was expecting a bigger nose and taste of lime but really it...
12 oz can from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. $0.75 in the bargain cart - can't go wrong (I assume) - we'll see! Pour is, as expected, very, very light yellow with a high head on the initial pour that fades to almost nothing within 60...
12 oz bottle, Villa Rica Sports Cafe, Villa Rica, GA, USA. Typical bright yellow urine appearance with low carbonation, no head, no lace and (again) as far as I can tell, no aroma. Apart from a very slight dry bitterness in the very back of the...
$3.65 for the 12 oz, clear glass bottle at BWW in Douglasville, GA, USA. Possibly the palest beer I have ever seen. Initial head is better than expected to be honest. Some lace. Apart from the disturbing color this pretty average. Light vegetal...
12 oz single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $1.35. Well, it has to be said that the expectations for this beer aren't exactly sky high! Take into account the reviews already on BA, plus the style, plus the origin and it's not exactly the...
$0.75 12 oz can from the bargain bucket at Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Lifeless pour with a head that looks good for about one minute (rocky and leaves some lace) but then inexplicably fades to nothing. Pale golden color. Not the...
$0.75 as a single from the bargain bucket at Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Not sure what to say about this really, but here you go; Possibly the palest "beer" I have ever seen. The head on the pour is not bad, and there is even a...
Described by Josh as, "Our lightest beer yet - straw in color, with a crisp, clean finish and a light hop character. Perfect for those steamy Beaufort days & nights". Difficult to argue with the description of the beer as being light, this brew is...
Pictured 03/31/12 Original notes 07/04/08 12 oz bottle, $3.00 Wild Wing Cafe, Hilton Head Island, SC, USA. Well, what exactly are you expecting?? An amberish pour with good clarity and a decent head. Of course, in true macro style the head is gone...
Well, it is what it is - no more, no less. Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA - on the house! Golden macro pour with a large white head. Very little lace and no retention to speak of. Aroma is that of a traditional British, lager-shandy. The lime...
I SPECIFICALLY went to my local Sports Bar in Villa Rica, GA, USA, to try this. Anyone visiting Villa Rica, GA should visit the Sports Cafe etc. (yes, that's its name with the etc. added), just for the experience (however I cannot imagine why you...
$4.00 Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA. 12 oz Bottle. Light Amber clarity with a head that disappears quickly to leave virtually no lace or head. Aroma? Not much at all. Some light biscuit malts and a dryish clean feel. Distinct lack of bitterness...
Yikes! Is it Ginger Ale?? It has an almost transparent appearance with a slight yellow tinge. Has a large head and a very fizzy appearance. Very, very light tastes of citrus with almost lemonade notes. This is just about as close to a non-alcoholic...
If you have to drink a light beer then this will be more palatable than most. Light, golden hue with decent carbonation. Surprisingly some lace present too. Taste has a little character, more than most for the style, but not much beyond what you...
Quite what the point of this is (at least from a beer point of view) is utterly lost on me. Obviously purely a marketing ploy. All in all, very much like Heineken except watered down. Extremely thin in the mouth and taste but still manages to stamp...
Slightly offensive aroma drinking from the bottle. Golden yellow color with some skunk. Interestingly enough, the skunk is the most well defined character of this "beer"! There is a very, very slight hop bite in the finish, but outside of that this...
Interesting. Very surprised to see that only four people have reviewed this so far. It's been around for ages. Also surprisingly, this is a decent looking beer, with a head that has much better retention than most macros, and comes with a little...
Not at all bad - at least for what it is, you understand!? Typical adjunct in most respects, but slightly above average. Scores well in the ‘very, very hot summer refreshing’, department, and is a pretty smooth drinking beer that lacks the real...
This is an absolutely extraordinary product. Quite LITERALLY no aroma (I was tempted to give it a 5 for "exceptional") and very close to no taste. All that there is a slight bitter finish which lets you know that this is not just very, very cold...
Fairly nasty, but frankly what do you expect? Largely devoid of any aroma, significant taste or body, I suppose the brewer has succeeded in their goals. Completely transparent, on the verge of colorless, certainly tasteless since the "beer" has...
Not at all bad. Never going to be my favorite style, but this hits the spot on a hot Atlanta Spring day. Good looker, with a clear pale straw color, excellent head and some lacing. Good bitterness all the way through and a definite thirst quenching...
OK, I think to an experienced drinker that has tasted the full range of styles over the course of many years, "products" like this don't really qualify as "beer" at all. Having said that, this is no worse an offender than scores of similar others,...
Well - what do you expect? Amazingly light color (for beer anyway) and an aggresively carbonated, fizzy appearance. Nasty skunk in the first whiff, but this does seem to settle down. There's lots of artificial sweetness and an amazing feeling of...
Oh dear. My best guess is that the Hilton Head Brewing Company has made a calculated decision that the production of a light lager is what the folks want, and that this has the potential to be a commercial success that exploits the ignorance of the...
No matter what type of BA you are; a hop head, malt lover, stout or lager lover, etc. once you have established the fact that you like beer that tastes like "something", then it's hardly surprising that when you taste a beer that tastes like...
An appearance, smell and mouthfeel on a par with hundreds of other macro adjuncts, but a taste that almost defies description (mildly acidic water was the closest I came), gives this product the lowest drinkability I can ever recall. Beer? No it...
Another "beer" that most BA's simply don't consider to be a beer at all. I suppose one is allowed to call it beer because of the process that takes place before it reaches the glass, but in relation to quality brews of almost any distinction, this...
Updated Review 01/08 === $2.00, 16oz serving, Buffalo Wild Wings, Douglasville, GA, USA. Light golden color, zero head, zero lace. Vegetal mild bitterness, essentially wet with no taste. Slightly gassy. What's the point? Original Review 07/04 ===...
A surprisingly non-offensive experience. A very sweet malty experience with a light hop after taste. As usual I came to this brew with some preconceived ideas, but as can happen, I was pleasantly surprised. A very clean looking presentation with...
