4.1/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Bottle 316 of 372. Pours amber brown with off white head. Nose of nail polish remover and overripe fruit. Taste of almonds, nutty malt, chalky nuts and old fruit sitting in an acid bath. Very short finish - which is probably good in this case. Lighter body.

Bottle of the 2010 batch with a more modern label. Pours with a hazed brown body and a small tan head that fades. Aromas of honey, sour milk, nutmeg, vegetables, cinnamon, sweetpotatoes, and raw grain. Flavors are sweet and sour. Cinnamon, grain, brown sugar, with a sharply acidic (infected) finish. Lactic acid, nutmeg. Like a snickerdoodle cookie with a vinegar glaze. Not pleasant. Lively bubbles. A flawed beer.

Bottle (that is bottle conditioned). The only real reason I picked this up was to add it to the database. I am not particularly psyched up for trying this. Lets see. Pours with a chill hazed golden body and a massive white head. Looks like a Belgian Tripel in my tasting glass. Aromas of grain, grass, corn, spicy, a bit of orange zest, bready and nearly a note of candi sugar (yeah, odd). Anyway. Flavors are bitter, and very bready, with light sweetness and citrus throughout. Some spiciness from the hops. Pretty light and refreshing. Nothing really wrong with this at all. A nice and zesty lager with no faults. I don’t get the Mexican style lager reference as this is better than any lager that I have sampled from Mexico. Lively bubbles. A bit thin.

On tap. Pours a clear brown color with an off-white head that sticks. Aroma of chocolate malt, caramelized nuts and some toasted notes. Taste is about the same, nutty, some chocolate, decently sweet, low bitterness. Creamy bubbles, lightish body.

Bottle, shared by Papsoe. It’s a hazy, copper-colored beer with a minimal-sized beige head. Cardamom, cloves, citrus and some caramel in the aroma. The flavor has cardamom and cloves with caramel as a foundation. Citrusy fruityness to give some more complexity. Medium body. Caramel and citrus in the finish. Some obvious hints of infection in this one, but still sort of ok. 090821

Bottle. Mild Brett aroma. Cloudy dark brown colour. Small head. Buttery flavour, but not fat and unpleasant. More like sourish and buttery and not too bad.
