Butt Monkey Chimp Chiller Ale

Brewed by Lion Brewery, Inc.
Style: Pale Lager
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania USA

absolutely terrible. I wish I never knew of this beer. I would like to think this was "skunked", but I know it was not. That’s the way it tastes. If you are reading this, its probably too late, becaus you know what I am talking about.

Thanks to Dickinsonbeer for this via Mystery Swap 2.0. Medium gold pour with minimal white head that fades quickly. Aroma of pale grainy malt, slight hopcitrus and honey. Fairly good palate heft and complexity, that had mid-palate apricots soaked in high fructose corn syrup flavors, plus finishing hopcitrus, and a decent pale malt taste throughout. No off flavors or aromas noted. Not bad for a pale lager.

Bonus from Dickinsonbeer, thanks Paul! Pours a clear pale golden with a quickly fading one finger white head. Aroma of grain with hints of honey and grassy hops. Flavor has some sweet malts and is even a slight bit buttery. There is a little bit of grass, paper, and grain as well, but nothing offensive. Semidry finish, minimal bitterness. Moderate carbonation with a thin body, but that seems pretty average for a pale lager. Not bad for a pale lager, which isn’t necessarily saying too much. The label kinda makes me laugh though.

12 oz bottle via Dickinsonbeer (thanks!). Pours a clear golden blonde with a tiny white head. Not much in the nose here, some toasted grains perhaps and some English hops. Taste is not bad, actually tastes like a lager instead of a pale ale. Is pretty sweet, with lots of caramel, some toasted grains, and some earthy/grassy hops in the finish. Light body. moderate carbonation. A nice refreshing backyard lawn mower type beer....hmm now that i have posted the rating, i see this is a lager. yet the label on the bottle says Ale...it tasts like a lager, so assume that is correct. As a Pale LAger, it is actually pretty good. Much better than any of the BMC stuff out there...

What the hell is this! I’ll tell you, a good marketing idea, thats it. Make a funny label see how much sells then discontinue the brand. Tasted watery smell like ass and is all together stupid! Must have some skilled brewers over there. I Didn’t spend a dime on it and no one else should.

I don’t think this was as bad as everyone says. It has a nice deep gold color and works a fine head. The aroma makes well with the hop flavors. No complaints!

Light yellow appearance with a small, white head. Grainy, vegatal aroma. Moderately sweet, bland, inoffensive taste. Light bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel with a crisp, short lived finish.

Not a very good beer, but not a bad pale lager. I admit I got this because of the name and the label. This is a perfect example of not being able to judge a book (or beer) by its cover. Poured a fizzy yellow with no head. Smell of wheat. Taste is just like any other pale lager-no better no worse but more metallic than your typical PL. This bottle will make a fine addition to my collection, but the beer can go climb a tree :)
