When GameDay Lager was announced in this part of the world a few years ago, I assumed that it would be nothing more than another, shitty, American macro-like adjunct. Even though Upland was charged with brewing it, I thought that the only way that...
Nice clarity with a lovely, appropriate clear-copper color. The head is so interesting. It’s modest in terms of size, but it is quite dense, has a great creamy level of viscosity and has some decent retention and lace. Some decent, simple light...
Best before 03/03/23, so I appreciate where we are with this 5.5%, relatively delicate beer in early September 2023. Lovely, burnt orange colored pour with a decent head. Nose offers the requisite malty base. Tastes follow suit with some drying...
Another relic from the recent Hilton Head trip. I've had this maybe once before, also purchased in HHI. A quick check on @untappd confirms that it was 11 months ago. 12oz can, popular on the island because fot he beach, Pour is a fairly cloudy...
12oz bottle, thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this. A mid-amber, cloudy pour with a thin head that produces some attractive if somewhat thin lace. The lace is a little watery, but is quite intricate. Bready, malt based combo of nose and...
Swing-top bottle that I picked up for the bargain price of $1.99 at Tower on Piedmont, Atlanta, GA, USA (these bottles have been on sale in Atlanta in the $5.99 range prior to this). These bottles have been in ATL for quite a while now, and...
22 oz bottle, gold foil with the usual 100 Barrel series presentation. Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Strange one this. I think if you had given me this in a blind taste taste I would have sworn it was Yeungling! Now, you can take that any way that...
Thanks go out to someone for a recent trade (you know who you are). 12oz bottle. Lively pour with a lot of initial carbonation. Fine bubbles. Very good head and lace and some persistent carbonation. Light honey colored, hazed body. Creamy mouth...
12oz single from Tower, Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Looks good. Golden pour with plenty of carbonation, good clarity, small head and some excellent lace. Quite sweet nose and initial tastes with some grain. Sharp and refreshing. Malts are prominent...
=== Updated Review 08/10 === Thanks go out to Kevin for the opportunity to try this beer once more. The malt nose drifts out of the bottle as soon as it's opened, and the beer seems to fulfill many of the criteria for a beer of this type - fresh,...
Another pretty decent hit from the Trader Joe, single, $1 a bottle recent haul. Nice carbonation, good head, but not a great deal of lace. Good clarity in the amber body. Good depth in the nose with plenty of malty goodness and sugar promised....
Lovely looker with a light amber color and some first class lacing. Malts are all upfront that are complemented by a nice balance on the dry hopped finish. A little metal in there too on the quick finish that reminds you that this is a lager...
Have to admit that this was generally disappointing to me. Simply very thin in the mouth with little or no character and a mild taste that simply failed to satisfy. Poured out a light orange color with the small head fading fast to nothing. Very...
Good looking and better than average beer all around. Distinct red tinges to the pour and a decent looking head with some better than expected lacing. This is a pretty malty beer and I expect the name will fool lots of people. Obviously not a "red"...
Flat, flat, lifeless pour with no head and drab appearance. Another beer that suffers from a hopelessly over chilled, too cold presentation. When this stuff comes out of the ice box freezer and get poured into a frozen glass it's just about...
Original notes from 05/22/2004. Picture from 2021. Above average macro/micro that I am happy to fall back on in the absence of an extensive range of options. It's consistent - and that's important. A simple beer but does the job every time I enjoy...
