Ryan brought a bottle of this to the Lost Abbey Second Anniversary party. "DUDE BEER" in large white letters on a black background in a 12 oz bottle. Super skunky aroma when the cap is popped. The watery lack of flavor makes the skunkiness somewhat palatable. After a two sips, I chugged the rest. Now I know why people chug beers. So you it spends less time in your mouth, so you don’t have to taste it. I generously give it a 1.8. Uh, ye_ah.

Calgary Beerfest 2008. The table had a huge DUDE! banner behind it, and people were lined-up 5 deep. Good marketing boys, but pretty average canned pale lager fair here, perhaps cleaner than some, and with a little hint of orchard-fruit if you’re inclined to think about it.

Sample glass at BeerFest 2008. Yellow bit of head. Exactly as anticipated. I would not want a bigger sample or a taste as it got too warm. Basic low cost yellow beer.

A decent cheap pale lager. Grainy aroma with minimal hop presence but the malts holds up.
