Two roads is really ubiquitous in my little home state of Connecticut. I really don't understand why you would want to hop the hell out of something you're calling a pills to the point where the traditional pills flavors are buried by a sweet ish bitter ish presence of hops and malt. Slightly tropical nose that is very faint. Pour is a slightly hazed pale gold with little head that does not have retention and no lace. Average mouth slightly watery not slick carbonation perhaps slightly lacking. Some traditional grassy flavors at first it's a little sweet in the middle and goes very very medicinal at the end absence the medicinal it could get a good flavors score. But hey it is what it is and what it is is you know sort of drinkable with a bit of a nasty finish.

I will come back and revise this review at some point. This is a review from memory. Took a siz to a dinner party a few nights ago. Was excited as I love hefes and I like Magic Hat Brewery a lot so my expectations were high. I am also at a disadvantage as I had them out of the bottle. This beer failed miserably. Very pale nose (might have been enhanced by a glass but I really did try to work the nose out of the bottle.) Appearance, who knows. Mouthfeel nothing special, certainly not silky or velvety. Flavor!!!!!!! BAD!!!!!!!! I like thier #9 alot and this tasted like an off version of #9. It had that apricot flavor which I hav to say is nice i the 9 but SUCKS in a Hefe! Carbonation was strong in a bad way, none of that fine soft fiz that a hefe is all about. And all the key notes of a hefe seemed absent, clove...yeast, pine, citrus all missing! I am pretty sure in a blind test I would not identfy this as a hefe and might not identify it as wheat. VERY DISSAPOINTING!

Minimal nose too heavy on the spice. Thin white head over light golden body, slightly fogged; head dissipates fast but has decent lace. Thin mouth is so so for style. Flavor starts OK, mostly orange peel and coriander, not complex or well balanced like a Hitachimi, then goes down hill, with bitter burnt spice taste and ends chemical, like one might imagine a mouthful of faded toilet disinfectant would taste, artifically fruity and astringent. 7/10 Somewhat better on draft but still not a very good effort.

I am not a huge lager fan. This reminded me of the Hams (the beer refreshing) that my dad drank in the 60's. Ok here we go... almost no aroma, standard pee yellow color with thnk fuzzy small-bubbled head that disappears rapidly. Thin in the mouth, flavor actually so so, certainly better than Bud but has a hint of corn and a hint of skunk. Really really cold on a really really hot day chasing a nice slice of soppresatta this might chug nicely, maybe. Rerate 11/08 Uping the scores some, its not so bad for the style but very mild.

Maybe I'm stuffy but no nose at all. Good looking pils, light yellow body but minimal head and lace. Mouth is a bit thin and undercarbonated. No nasty flavor BUT almost no flavor at all. Hint of apricot, no grass, no dour, finishes like a slightly sweet glass of water.

Wow, really not very good! When ice cold first sip seems promising, lots of hops. let it warm for 5 minutes and fogetaboutit. Aroma has a sweetness to it that somehow doesn't seem like it comes from malt and a lot of pine and citrus from hops. Pours a pale copper body with mediocre off white head with poor retention and no lacing. Mouth is shockingly thin considering there is a lot of flavor (will get to that later, its not all good). Decent fiz in the mouth, but perhaps a bit much for the style. Flavor, what to say. Lots of hops, hints at a carmel malted backbone goes really bad midway through. Lots of off flavors, medicine, aluminum, and ends with a detergent taste. Don't think I will finish this crap. There is a nod to the style but I am pretty sure I taste rice , corn, or other adjuncts. All that money and they produce this crap!!!!!!!!!

Nose is minimal, grass and perfume hops notes, lavender or dissipated sweet-tarts. Average to poor head sits atop pale gold body. Watery mouth. Not much flavor, a little pissy, grass and skunk with some flavorless bitterness. Has perhaps a touch more character than Carona.

This suddenly showed on on the tap at one of my locals and being a fan, generally, of BBC... Nose is pale, not a lot there, some malt. Pours a medium copper body with minimal head and no lace. Mouth is medium to think, carbonation underdone. Tastes a lot like a beer i had in St. Petersburg (Russia) a dozen years ago. Alcohol dominates the flavor, with OK middle of the road malt and very little hops. Unbelievable that at only 6.3% this is a strong ale and that alcohol is almost all you can taste! Not A Good Beer!

Least nose I have ever had on an IPA. Odd hint of vanilla and compost, but almost nothing there. Pour looks good, nice clear pale copper body topped with a solid white head with decent staying power and good lace. Mouth is Ok, medium with some slipperyness and carbonation OK. Flavor .......oh my god..... just WTF! Very little in the way of a malt backbone, fairly bitter (without any prominent hop flavors) and just an end/after taste from hell. Aspirin, urine? very timid and yet amazingly bad. Pouring this one down the drain.

Nasty sour off-tasting stuff! Maybe it was a bad keg? Very little nose, tiny skim coat of a head, no lace, copper body, thin mouth, very sour flavor, touch of hops, no malt, sucked!

Another failure from Rogue (if this is what home brew tasted like I'd quit brewing) Aroma: a lot of malt, almost no hop notes, cloying caramel sweetness Looks: Medium reddish copper body toped with almost zero head and no lace. Mouth: Decent medium bodied and a bit slippery/oily. Flavor:Starts sweet, ends sweet, lots of malt, some off chemical taste, lacking in bitterness (only 65 IBU in a 'wet hop" product?), awful balance and lots of wrong flavors, dirty socks/old tennis ball mixed with brown sugar and a touch of pine Overall: there are some great fresh hopped beers out there, this isn't one of them

First time I have ever tasted a Corona, have always put lime in it before. Aroma is very close to non-existant a wee bit of grass, a wee bit of bready yeasts, and a touch of sweet berries. Pours a minimal head that rapidly disapears leaveing almost 0 lace and a tiny but constant effervesance that bubbles up through a very pale yellow body. Mouthfeel is slightly tingly and slightly slippery, its an OK mouthfeel. Flavor .......what flavor? Tastes like a very stale sweet tart might taste; a litle corn, a little metalic, a little simple syrup, and ends with a slightly off-putting chemical taste, almost no aftertaste. All these flavors are just barely there, its a VERY small taste. All in all its better then most US macros, no skunk, and its better then drinking water.

Nose is very small, no not mine...the beer's. It hints at the appropriate scents but goes away quickly. I am really not getting much ester or phenolics here, the clove and banana if present are too subtle for the style. Widmer doesn't list their yeasts but I suspect this is brewed with the wrong yeast. Doesn't pour as nice a head as most hefes, an what is there doesn't last and leaves almost no lacing. Body color and fogginess is good for style. Mouth is medium but is missing both the slipperyness and tingle of a great hefe. Flavor is more like a watered down wheat than a true hefe. As with the nose, the phenolics and esters are missing. Has a hint of citrus and finishes a bit sour. Aftertaste is slightly metallic and somewhat "Bud"-like. Also its major flavor is from hops, the hops level MIGHt be right if the rest of the flavor components were there, but they are not. Can't believe this has won the medals claimed, maybe I got a bad bottle but its just SO WRONG for the style, it doesn't even hint at hefe!

The quintessential euro-skunk! This used to be a favorite of mine before I drank any good beer and stacked up against Bud I guess you could understand that. Aroma is minimal-skunk, average color and head, moderate lace, slightly slimey mouthfeel, flavor is very light on the hops and in fact very light any flavor except skunk. In an average American bar (a place I spend lots of time in) this used to b the best beer you could buy. Now even my local working man's hangout at least offers some Sammie's.

Almost no nose to speak of. Some lightly roasted malts possibly Crystal malts. light brown body topped with almost no head and no lace. The mouth is thin and tingly. Some vague hints of chocolate in the flavor some vague pear which is very odd for the style and a bit of a chemical aftertaste. A bit more Hoppy than one expects and lacking in that bread flavored component. If you have to have a two roads beer that I like. Anybody want five bottles?

Sooner or later you gotta review the rock. Pours with a moderate fuzy head that disipates very rapidly leaving almost no lace, no bubble, and a pale yellow body. Aroma is rice and sugar and a touch of citrus and skunk. Mouthfeel is VERY thin and poorly carbonated; its fuzzy with out being tingly. Flavor is where this beer shines, it has almost no flavor. Compared to its competitors (the American Macros) I consider that lack of flavor to be a good thing! What flavor there is starts with grain and alcohol, goes slightly tart and citrusy and finishes fairly smooth and clean for its class. This rock actually seems a bit better now that it has gone from ice cold to cool and thats suprising and unusual in a Macro. I'll certainly take it over any AB product and it beats Miller in my book; its a rather harmless beverage, perhaps good to have if you don't quite know if you want a beer.

This is one odd duck! The nose is really strong, a bit of pine, a lot of suspect fruit/floral, a lot of lemmon and corriander. My first thought was really that this smells like a toilet freshener! The head is big but perhaps not as long-lasting as the style would wish. Sits on a very cloudy pale apricot colored body. The lacing is really more like foaming. I find the color and the nose both off-putting. Mouth feel is both thin and foamy. The flavor is corriander and for me apple with a touch of lemon. Almost tastes like an off hard cider that had been watered down. I also get a touch of apricot in the flavor, like a weak Magic Hat #9 with odd spicing added to it. Maybe some other odd berry as well...bluebery? Its more spicey than sweet and finishes fairly clean with just a hint of hops in the finish. I really don't care for it. When I first smelled it I thought God, what is in this thing, it smells like artificail fruit flavoring. It tastes the same to me. I am willing to bet that this beer has artificial fruit flavoring in it. I rarely say this but I don't think I can finish it, half way through I already feel a hangover coming on. BAD BEER!

Pale in color and flavor this euroPale is so so. Not much nose, a bit of malt. Decent head over moderate amber body, no lacing to speak of. Mouthfeel is medium. Pale skunk balanced by a dribble of hops and corn.

If you have even the smallest soft spot in your heart for Saisons do not taste this Shite! As this is brewed in my home state and as they have several other brews that have just appeared at my local vendor and I am a big fan of Sasions, I had so hoped this would be tasty but alas! Ok, thats out of the way so on with the review. The pale resemblance to the nose of a good Saison is the best part of this beer; clove predominates and not much else there. Terrible Terrible appearance; a pale yellow body (reminiscent of Bud, Pabst, etc) is not topped at all; no head, almost dead still in the glass, zero lace Mouth is very light, some tingle, not slippery. Flavor is clove followed by clove and finishing with clove. No malt, tiny bit of hops bitterness, the initial taste is close to right for a Saison but thats all there is; no barnyard funk, no grass, no fruit, no sour...OK that might rate a three but this gets a two because it ends with an awful chemical medicinal nastiness that is just awful. (yes I think this beer sux!) My local supplier has two more of their brews which, as I grabbed this six, I had hoped to review in the future. Now the thought of buying 6 of anything from these folks scares the hell out of me. Maybe I can talk them into selling me a mixed 6. Oh yes,one more thing, a Saison at 4.8 ABV....WTF!

IPA light...maybe...at best??? Faint nose is more like a pils then an IPA. Pours medium gold body with shot-lived white head that disappears rapidly leaving no lace to speak of. Mout is watery and the carbonation is fizzy without being nice. Flavor is of processed white sugar with a touch of skunk in mid taste and some chemical ending. Sweet, hoppless, and tasting of additives, this has nothing to do with an IPA and since the brewer's description is so antithetical to the actual product I will grade this even more harshly. Crap beer. Hey, Full Sail doesn't even list any of their "Henry Weinhard's " brews on their website, can't say as I blame them!

light gold with white head minimal lace. Smells skunky, grass and chemical, smells like adjunct city. thin mouth, carbonation so so, tastes like grapefruit rind with acetone, just screams do not drink me!

Just God awful, didn't know it was AB till I tasted it. Aroma very minimal but acceptable (though not for a beer with Hop in the name. Decent clear copper color with poor head and really poor lace. I should have known when it said USDA organic istead of just organic that it was gonna be a bogus experience, oh well. Mouthfeel is non-existant... picture seltzer water gone not quite totally flat. Flavor! Complete crap!There is a tiny initial hit of hops that very rapidly turns to mettalic ugliness. It tastes like the old deoderants that had aluminum chlorhydrate as thier main ingredient.Somehow they have managed to give it an aftertaste that is even worse. This crap almost makes Bud taste good! How can a company like AB with tremendous financial resources make such a terrible terible brew? Certainly this went through some corporate taste testing program...who the hell were the tasters? Review this one quick. It won't be around long!

I have added this beer. Hard to name the style because its a spiced lager and that is NOT an available style here. I don't know what to say, I have had three hooker beers on draft at my local and they all suck big time yet they get good reviews at most sites; it might be a problem with my local. However here goes. Sweet nose, not of malt and not of fruit. Medium amber body with thin head that provides no lace. Thin mouthfeel, almost watery. Bad flavor, mostly annice or licorice and putrified malt. Disgusting beer, perhaps because my local has a dirty tap?

Harpoon makes some good brews but this is NOT one of them. One wonders what they were doing when they released this Hefe. Aroma: the nose is short lived and while it hints at all the lovely properties of a hefe it is VERY mild. Appearance: The body is a bit of the yellow side of golden and has that lovely hefe unfiltered appearance but the head is terrible. What is the point of a hefe with a small head that disapears rapidly and leaves third rate lacing? None that I can think of. Mouthfeel: Not soft or satin or sliperey, not a hefe mouth at all! Flavor: I have never had a hefe that tasted skunky before this brew is a first! Extremly uncomplicated, bitter without fruity or yeasty balance, bad...bad...BAD! Harpoon should drink some good European hefes and go back to the drawing board because this beer sucks! (OK LOOK, its better than Bud but bud is what it is, this beer claims to be a hefe IT IS NOT!

Wow, this is CRAP! Giving the nose a three since there is NO NOSE, figure I have to save a 2 for a really bad nose. Pours a pale yellow clear body topped by a small white head that vanishes instantly leaving no skim coat and almost no lace. Yes indeed they have "crafted" a MacroSwill! I really doubt this is an ale. The malts are pilsner and caramel pilsen. Mouth also non-existent, thin as hell and slightly fizzy. Flavor, well less than Bud or Corona; they made malt taste like corn and rice. A little sweet, a hint of grass at the end, it plays at being a pilsner, just can't imagine this is an ale. As an ale its the worst I have ever tasted (well except for a home brew batch that just went all wrong ... we called it tennis ball brown because it tasted and smelled like tennis balls.) Were it billed as a macroswill lager it would only be in the top 10 worst.
