Spanish Peaks Monterey Lager

Lots of sediment in the bottle, so I poured carefully to keep the beer clean. There is alarge white head with a light gold body. The aroam is old apples and sweat socks. There are also some carrots and celery in the aroma. The taste is honey with some light corn and grass. This is decent. After rating, I poured the rest of the bottle and the floating material broke up and just caused a little cloudiness in the glass. It did not seem to affect the beer in any noticeable way.

Thanks to obeygiant for this. I didn’t like this one. Some hopcit in aroma and taste, and slightly better than BMC swill, but I wouldn’t drink this again. In the words of Dr. Seuss, I drank this to increase my ratings, wouldn’t drink it again if I was dehydratings.

12.20.02 12oz clear bottle. Pour looks the same in the glass as in the bottle. No head. Aromas of straw and raw grain. Sweet and corny like MGD, looks a bit like MGD, is it? Good beer to buy on sale and give to beer thieves at parties.

(12 oz bottle) Mildly flavorful for a pale lager, but still nothing worth a damn here; Quite sweet and mild corn flavor "dominates" because there is very little hops presence or bitterness; The finish is extremely weak like a light beer; Mildly malty nose, but mostly just a corn aroma; Yellow color and slightly cloudy from fine sediment; Pours a fairly large head, but the fizzing is like a Coke and disappears to nothing about as quickly

Well, this is definately the best looking lager I have experienced. That’s a good start, it pours off a hazy gold color, large head initially that dissipates down to a mere skim but that sticks around throughout. detect some malts and hops in the aroma, though not strong. Very very smooth mouthfeel, wow, that’s good. Flavor is a little vague, should be a bit more immediate but aftertaste is what one should savor with this beer. Great lager from a great brewery.

bad orange yellow color. Smells like corn and fermentted fruit cocktail. Horrid taste, nearly spit it up, i expect better from spanish peaks, 2nd taste, this is still god awful.

Nice golden color,small white head that faded fast.The aroma was lightly malty hoppy and a slight citrus like apperance as well.The taste was mild at best,malty sweet taste,lemon grass and mild hops with the finish being light and highly drinkable.This is nothing special but would still make a decent hot mowing day brew.Mine seemed to be fairly decent but some others have stated a slight skunk to there brew.Not the case here,it was quite decent at the tasting.

I hate clear bottles. Also- there was almost no head. Flavor was slightly watery with some maltiness to it without too much presence of hops. Overall, I didnt like this beer too much , but it did have a nice malty aroma to it- kinda like sticking your head in a big 25 kg bag of marris otter.
