Nude Beer

Yes, despite getting a load of crap from my buds, I picked up a bottle of this for something like $0.50. Reviewing beer can be a tough job sometimes, but I'm willing to be who "takes one for the team"... ;)

Nice eye-candy on the label -- a topless asian gal with very nice..., um..., er..., "eyes", so to speak. ;^) But while that may appeal to (male) beer bottle collectors, what's the beer within taste like? Surprisngly, not horrible.

Basic pale gold in appearence, with a perfunctory head that quickly disipates. Equaly basic and unethusiastic aroma, with some old-school hopping -- Cluster, maybe Willamette?

More old-school ale inklings in the taste department -- definately not your typical West Coast Pale Ale here. Has the classic "catty" Cluster taste, that tends to repulse Pale Ale drinekrs from both the U.K. and the West Coast. I'm not neccesarily repulsed, but, at the same time, it's obvious that it's not my style. Not inherently wrong or flawed, but a hop that I don't care to deal with.

Adequate mouthfeel, though it does tend to highlight subtle flaws in the malt-bill that would have otherwise been hidden away. A bit sulphurous in the extreme backend, as well.

Drnkability is always gauged (in my book) by asking "would I want to drink nothing but this beer all night long"? Inherent flaws and personal feelings not withstanding, I would say "No thanks".

I expected much worse from this, to be honest. But while this isn't truly horrible, it's nothing that I can recommend. Enjoy the eye-candy on the label, since the beer within is nothing to whistle at.

Light orange gold color, Small white foamy head. Aroma is hoppy and grainy. A medium bodied lager beer. Malts are sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. Its sweet and fruity with some hop bite to it, not at all what I expected. A smooth tasting, nicely balanced lager. I was expected some sort of macro tasting swill, but this ënudeí beerí, although gimmicky, it very drinkable. But I would not want to have to drink it all the time. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and a little metallic.

This beer sucks. There’s no aroma and it tastes like crap. Hopefully everyone won't be distracted by the naked lady on the label and give this a better rating than it disserves.
