Sampled from a 12 oz bottle, this one pours to a hazy copper color with a non-existent head. I’m wondering if the bottle cap wasn’t on tight. The aroma is strange. Bananas and leather. Very light. The flavor isn’t very good. Malted overripe bananas, grains, strange. Very much a bad beer. The palate is funny. There’s a dusty quality and an aceticness to it.

Tap. Pours gold with a thin white head. Yeasty malt and leather aromas. Bread and malt flavor with hints of banana. Light bodied.

Floral and citrus aroma. Medium bodied, lot’s of bread in the malts. I got a nice peppery hop kick at the end. Palate was somewhat grainy. Fairly easy drinking.

Huge head, but poured to a opaque color; not what I was expecting - it looked more like a wheat beer. Very carbonated, but surprisingly, I really liked the taste. Slightly hoppy finish. I usually don’t like this kind of beer to much, but I was surprised. The reviews seem really polarized, too. EDIT: Trying for the second time, and I may have gotten a bad bottle. There is almsot no carbonation in it. Tastes good, but has a funny mouthfeel.

Wow, forgot to smell this before I went in for a sip. Almost dropped my glass. I didn't realize it would smell like Elk piss! Had to give a beer called Staggering Elk a chance though. I think the elk that pissed this substance up were drunk on Schmits Light, because this is pretty bad.

Fresh grainy malt aroma. Flavor of fresh malt and floral hops dominate. Long-lasting finish.

Very hazy, very pale yellow. Slightly malty scent. Not too much to the taste, a bit acidic & bitter. Just a bad beer.

Head is initially small, fizzy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, cereal, bread), moderately hoppy (flowers, grapefruit), with a light note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent.
