Yarpivo Elite 5.8% ABV, 500ml from Tenuta’s. Straw yellow with a soapy white head that leaves streaks of lace. Aroma of cereal grains, grain alcohol, dirty socks and malt. Taste of sweet malt, corn and mild floral like hops sneak in there and it’s a little too sweet. Gritty body leads to a grainy finish. Meh.

From a bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Iowa City. The body is medium gold with a large white head. The aroma has notes of cooked carrots with a hint of hot plastic. The taste has some nasty notes of sweet potatoes and over ripe cherries. This is way too sweet. The body is highly carbonated. The finish gets more of a note of green tomatoes as you drink. Pretty bad.

Gee what a rubbish brewery. Aroma gives nothing but corny metal alcohol. Taste is similar.

Spritzy, somewhat bitter somewhat metallic. Sweet on the aroma. Actually a touch of sweetness initially, dissipates into bitterness. Unintelligible bitterness. Still quite drinkable though.

This is one of the occasions where I needed to read some other reviews first. It looks like Cornfield and I were dealt a bad hand... other users are dealing with "carbonation" and "frothy" or "fizzy" heads. I’ve got nothing. Completely flat. I think we got screwed, Carl. Corn and mineral nose. Took one sip. Sickly sweet and awful. I can’t drink this.

This headless, flat yellow drink smells like caramel corn that had been dropped into mud. The flavor is mainly corn syrup sweetness with some malty graininess. It’s watery to drink and has a tinny finish. Lovely.

Moderate to low carbonation. Almost no head. Pale straw color and slightly hazy. Aroma is very sweet and malty- with some bread-like smells. Also a bit of diacetyl. Flavor is dry and bland with lots of malt but having a dry carboard like taste to it. Watery body and bland finish. Slightly cloying overall. Whatever hops were in here have disappeared from the long shipment over here.
