Dixie Beer

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

bottle, clear golden brownish, slight lasting foam, bready paper aroma, flavor is sweet, some bitterness, no finish

Bottle - Pours a pale golden amber in color with a very small head and almost no carbonation. Aroma is malty, but laced with corn. Flavor is weak, but some malt and (actually) some hops. Not that great...

12oz bottle: apperance is golden brown with slow fading white head, aroma is like old bread, flavor is pretty complex for a pale lager malty and has an added sour taste that adds to the flavor. Pretty different for a lager.

Pour is a bright golden with a small fizzy white head. Faint sweet grain aroma. Flavor is a little better than the average lager with a heavier body and a little hops in the aftertaste. A ok lager and deffinalty worth the novelty alone.

Bottle. Poured flat with a very thin body. No defining taste leaving me with the thought why did I bother?

I always enjoyed Dixie beer, and it was only $3.99 a six pack (bottles) before Hurricane Katrina hit. The storm destroyed the brewery, which I had visited the month before. It’s sad to drive by the facility now, after so many years of passing by and seeing the workers doing their jobs. Well, Dixie was aged in cypress barrels which gave it a unique taste. It was usually cloudy and a bit sour, but was good and different. A more of an old time beer. Most people under 40 told me they hated it, but older folks said they liked it. The folks brewing it now, did a good job of sticking to the original recipe. RJT

Light, highly carbonated, bitter, hoppy finish, makes me want to watch football, tasty.

Pale yellow with virtually no head. Very faint sweet aroma. Fairly sweet corn flavor. Syrupy texture. Watered down and rather bland.
