This wasnt too bad. A pale yelllow appearance. The flavor had some sort of weird apple juice quality to it. It hides the booze well and its chuggable so I guess its ok? For swillathons only.

Holy crap, this is cheap....

And don't just mean that the beer is very cheap-tasting -- it is most definately that, that's for sure! But what I mean is that I'm not sure how I even ended up with this can.

Attended a party at Robert's place last Saturday, where there was (of course) mass quantities of excellent beer in the house. But of course, there's always a few odd-balls who bring their own mysterious cheap schwill. This happened to be the beer of choice of one of Robert's co-workers. When I good-naturally asked him what he saw in it, he laid it on the line pretty well. "It's cheap, tastes like water, and get's me drunk". `Nuff said, doncha' think? ;^) But how a can of this ended up in a six-pack holder of empty bottles Robert was returning to me, I have no idea. Maybe he wanted to make sure the evil was expunged from his abode, eh?

Like every other Gluek offering that I've had the misfortune of running across, this is strictly cheap supermarket beer, that garners no better than a D+ in my book. Sweet, mushy -- reminds me of a bowl of stale Frosted Corn Flakes..., with water instead of milk, to boot.

Nasty aftertase, and the warming sensation in my chest can't be a natural thing, considering we're only talking about a 5.8%ABV beer here and all. Yep, it's a dumper alright.

Just plain cheap and lousy -- par for the course for seemingly everything that is ever brewed in Cold Springs, MN. Stay away from this, IMHO.

What the fuck can I say about this. I have had the pleasure of experienceing the entire josef hoffbauer line. It tasted like metal, other than that there were a few hints of water. So basically this is what metallic flavored water would taste like. had again june of 2005 and its still fucking awful, you go gluek.
