look: 2 | smell: 1 | taste: 1 | feel: 2 | overall: 1

A - Pours a very clear pale golden color with a light head that quickly dissipates and minimal lacing.

S - Lime, lemon, ginger, coriander, and spices. Almost a soda like smell - unfortunately the lemon/lime, ginger, and coriander together smells like pine-sol, which I doubt is the desired effect.

T - Lemon/lime, ginger and coriander stick out most to me. A little bit of a wheat body with no real discernible hop or malt flavors. Something just tastes off...pine-sol is really the predominant flavor.

M - Thin-bodied and smooth. Unfortunately the aftertaste eliminates any of the positive effects of the texture. It would be a decent lawnmower type beer if the flavors were dialed significantly back.

O - When it comes to beer, I believe there are two types of failures: 1) those that don't try and fail and 2) those that try and fail. The best thing to say about the Lucy is that it's number #2. I'm tolerant of "interesting" tastes, but it's not a good sign when your beer probably would be better served as a cleaning solution. Easily the worst beer I've had from Starr Hill (a brewery I normally like) and I hope they don't bring it back.
