Matt Accel

Brewed by Matt Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Utica, New York USA

The aroma keeps this from being a better than average diet beer. There seems to be gasoline in it. I don’t taste it but that along with corn and alcohol seem to be in the aroma. The appearance is super typical and not worth mentioning. The flavor on the other hand is another story. If you can hold your nose its better than some low cal/low carb beers out there. Mostly it tastes like malt but it’s not offensive. The palate is super thin. The brewer needs to work on the aroma of this one.

Dull light yellow color with a modest white head. Dry malt aroma, actually more of a sake aroma. Devoid of flavor, well except for cardboard, corn, dry grass and hint of oats. fairly thin and fizzy as expected. Stop the insanity.

Thin rocky head with low carbonation. Smells like rotting grass and maybe a bit of moldy corn. Pale gold in color. Flavor, what little there is, is offensive. Fizzy, watery, moldy, crap. Finish is slightly dry. Man these "low carb" beers suck!

Done in a simply tragic side-by-side with Rock Green Light. Why? They were cheap, I had both, and I apparently have some significant issues with self-loathing I need to contact a beer therapist about. Barely colored, just a hint of gold. Was apparently brewed for those who tragically lost their noses in industrial accidents, as it smells like nothing whatsoever. Flavor is a bit there, sweet, some adjuncts. I guess it’s kind of fruity. Really thin, a bit obnoxiously fizzy. No malts. No hops. It’s apparently designed to Accel-erate the drain pour process.

Wow - really really light. No head. Strange fruity aroma, tones of blueberry and banana? Very light fizzy beery soda water flavor. Off-bitter finish. No redeeming characteristics at all.

Minimal fizzy head, almost clear. Thin watery, not much of any kind flavour. There was almost nothing here to taste.

Mildly fruity aroma with hints of mint. Very pale. No head. Carbonated water has more flavour than this. Thin watery mouthfeel. Bottle (sampled at Mondial 2004).

Mondial de la Biere 2004. Club soda again, a la Sleeman clear. Pale yellow, white fizzy head. No discernible aroma. Light, fizzy, and watery.
