Glouglouburp (2157), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 25, 2008 <b>In short: </b>Maybe the best low-alcohol beer. Kind of bland but not unpleasant.<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub<br />
<b>The look: </b>Clear amber body with almost no head<br />
<b>In long: </b>Light nose of barley candy. Taste of basic whole-wheat cereals, some berries, light touch of caramel, a tiny bit nutty. Overall sensation of those morning cereals with dried berries. Not very tasty, it is bland but not offensively bland. Body didn’t feel empty. I’m not one of typical ratebeerian that rates a beer by its intensity, I really enjoyed the 2.5% Goose Island Six (rating 3.7) and the 3.5% Dupont Avril is a mid-4 beer to me, but this Escape really lacked character. It’s certainly the best beer classified as Low-Alcohol I’ve ever had but that means as much as being the best Ethiopian sumo wrestler.
krisbot (1), devon, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Aug 20, 2008 Unbelievable aroma, flavor, and full mouthfeel for a beer of this alcohol level. agl108 (384), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2008On draft at the brewpub. Poured deep brown with a skim of head. Surprisingly nutty flavor. VERY thin and watery, which is not surprising. The brewer gets props from me for pulling off a semi-decent beer at only 1.9%. jeremytoni (656), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Jun 9, 2008 From the tap poured a clear brown color with a small amount of head. Nice flavor malty, but kind of watery. jcwattsrugger (4272), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 8, 2008 on tap-pours a thin rich tan head and red color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, nutty. Taste is medium malt-caramel, nutty/peat/smoky, English hops at mid-taste and after taste. It varies from medium body to watery/thin body.
