St. Louis Premium Peche

Brouwerij Brasserie Van Honsebrouck
Ingelmuster, Belgium


APPEARANCE: 2/3
Brown color. Minimal head that doesn't last.

AROMA: 2.25/4
Some sugary peach. Almost a peach Jolly Rancher or peach syrup aroma. Sour - pungent. No hop aroma.

TASTE: 3.5/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 1.5/4: Malty - sweet. No hop bitterness. Sour. Peach syrup, maybe cherry notes?
Aftertaste: 1/3: Sour overwhelming. Fades to a slight sweetness. Vinegary.
Mouth-Feel: 1/3: Fizzy. Sour. Almost mouth puckering so.

OVERALL: 1/3: Vinegar was the flavor we couldn't identify right off. It became much more apparent and overwhelming as the beer warmed in the glass. Neither of us could finish it.

TOTAL: 8.75/20–Tab Me Out

NOTES:
Matt:
Tastes like something somebody accidentally left out, and by the time you tried it, it bore no resemblance to what you thought it was suppose to be.
Ben: Started out with potential, ended up like I was drinking a glass of vinegar with peach syrup. Not a fan. There are much better lambics out there.

Horny Goat Stacked Milk Stout

Horny Goat Brewing Company
Stevens Point, Wisconsin


APPEARANCE: 1/3
Brown/copper color–decidedly NOT black.

AROMA: 1/4
No aroma, very little head.

TASTE: 3.5/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 1.5/4: Roasted flavor, malty with no hop. Weak, very little sweetness.
Aftertaste: 1/3: Corny aftertaste–lager yeast.
Mouth-Feel: 1/3: Thin, watery.

OVERALL: 1/3: Not good beer, and definitely not a stout (much less a MILK stout).

TOTAL: 6.5/20–Tab Me Out

NOTES:
Matt & Ben: Not remotely true to style–needs more roasted malt, more lactose. It's too light in color. It's watery. This beer purports to be a milk stout–it isn't! It's a fraud, one of the worst beers we've tried, and we advise against drinking it.

Wild Blue Blueberry Lager

Blue Dog Brewery
Baldwinsville, New York

APPEARANCE: 2/3
White head, weak but persistent. Purple hue.

AROMA: 2/4
Welch's cran-grape juice. No hop aroma.

TASTE: 3/10

  • Hop/Malt Balance: 1/4: No malt or hop to speak of.
  • Aftertaste: 1/3: Blueberry/grape syrup flavor overwhelms.
  • Mouth-Feel: 1/3: Watery, fades quickly (blessedly).

OVERALL: 1/3
Bud Light + syrup = Wild Blue = wine cooler beer for high school girls.

TOTAL: 8/20–Tab Me Out

NOTES:
Matt:
If you're thirsty for beer, drink beer. If you're thirsty for a Capri-Sun, drink a Capri-Sun. Either way, don't drink this.
Ben: Feels like I'm drinking my morning grape juice. Pass.
