The Fat Weasel poured a clear straw colored with smallish head. Nice lacing but not much in the taste area. This is just an ordinary ale. The higher alcohol may be it best feature. It would take fewer to get a nice buzz. This is another beer form Trader Joe’s. All have been medicore. None have had me going back to get a six pack.

Dec 8, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Trader Joes (Short Pump), 12/8/09
(Bottle says it was brewed by Steinhaus Brewing Co)
Aroma: Somewhat fresh smell of cereal, corn, lemon, grass
Appearance: Pours a clear yellow-orange color with a fizzy white head, some drippy lace
Flavor: Taste is somewhat sweet, lots of corn, there’s not much else there
Palate: Body is fairly light, highly fizzy mouthfeel, you don’t feel the 7.1% at all
Overall Impression:
This is an Amber? I don’t see how, but anyway... This beer is a little unusual, first off, the description lists this one as being contract brewed by 2 breweries, and the bottle lists a third. It’s almost like the classic light bulb joke (How many breweries does it take to make a mediocre beer? Answer is apparently at least 3.) Anyway, I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it, but considering the price I can see a certain group of beer drinkers enjoying this for its relatively high ABV and how easy it is to drink.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle split with Pwn3d, Pat, Ryguy and Belushi. Thank Christ himself that we split this 12 oz five ways. A pretty terrible beer. The Fat Weasel pours a clear yellow body. The aroma is extremely offensive with notes of pee and alcohol. The taste is actually not as bad as the aroma hints at, but its pretty horrendous.

Nov 9, 2009 Medium aroma of bread/yeast. Clear, golden color with lots of fizziness. Lots of malty sweetness up-front on the palate with metallic notes mid-palate and little to no finish. Creamy mouthfeel coats the palate, and the metallic notes become less evident as the tongue is coated. However, the malty/creaminess is balanced iwth the nice carbonation. Not bad, though would be better without the matallic notes and with more of a finish

Oct 13, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin off white head over a clear light amber (SRM 7-8) body..........nose of roasted malts with a bit of toffee, and cereal dominating.....taste is light cereal, finishing with a slight hop bitterness....mouth feel is light, carbonation high. This is a very light Amber, almost a Vienna.
