Grand Canyon Rattlesnake Beer

Brewed by Oak Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Pale Lager
Sedona, Arizona USA

Bonus from Bockhorsey. Clear gold, light head & lacing. Corny aroma. malts and a slight hint of hops. very sessionable.

Foamed right out of the top of the bottle. Loads of carbonation and a 3 inch head in my glass. Reduces very slowly with great carbonation. Sweey malty aroma with some honey, bready malts, some vegetal aromas and spices. Color is a medium orange. Fizzy in the mouth with lots of malts, some corn a dry bitterness at the finish. Finishes sweet and malty again. The brew starts off pretty nicely but the flavor is a liittle bit strange and does not sit very well in the stomach.

I can;t remember who hooked me up with this one. Poured dark amber with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Lots of sweet malt backed by alcohol. Terrible.

12 oz bottle thanks to Hellbilly in the mystery swap 3.0. Pours a light to medium copper (a bit deeper than expected, thin white head, light carbonation and wierd suspended tiny yeasties. Aroma has an initial DMS and corn/cabbage with some sweet candy sugar hints, artificial sweetness- aspertame and tapioca pudding. Flavor is also on the sweet side- corn syrupy, artificial- no doughy malts, hardly any hops- light metallic aftertaste and a stale almsot lifeless finish. Even for a highly rated pale lager this isnt that good.

!2 oz bottle from Sun Devil Liquors. Pours a pale amber color with a big fizzy tan head. Sweet aromas of malt and fruit, with some grains. Flavor is similar, but with a slight bitter finish. Not bad, but I wouldn’t search it out again.

12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 (Thanks Hellbilly!). Pours a semi clear amber with a small white head. Nose is very subdued and i only pick up a trace of grains and some teast. Barely. Tastes about like it smells. Some sweet crystal malts, a bit of breadiness, and some mild grassy hops hidden in there somewhere. And a bit of fusel alcohol. Carbonation is moderate, body is medium. Bland but drinkable....barely.

A new State from my trade with Bockyhorsey. Thanks! Looks like people don’t always get around to tasting this one so yeah for me. Orange, hazy pour with tons of carbonation but quick to dissipate head. Malty sweet aroma-syrupy even. Fruit notes and cotton candy. There are an odd combo of flavors going on in this. Sweet but not cloying (but still too much), candy, malt, combined with an adjunct or two with an off flavor. Odd but not terrible. Carbonated and medium mouth feel that manages to be somewhat sticky. Thanks for letting me try this.

12oz. bottle by way of hellbilly. Grainy, doughy and lightly sweet pale malt aroma, some white bread character along with a few slightly vegetal and herbal notes. Light-medium golden yellow color, lightly cloudy, with a fine, white head. Flavor is also malty, sweet and grainy, a certain undefinable fruitiness, finishing with a very slight spicy bitterness and drying out a bit towards the end. Still manages some crispness as well. Palate is thin and moderately effervescent, body is light. Very easy-drinking and a relatively flavorful version of this style.
