Picked up a 6 pack on sale at the grocery store because I liked the bottles and thought they would be nice for bottling homebrew. I also really enjoy Guinness so I wanted to see what else the brewery was cranking out.

A - Pale straw in color with a decent fizzy white head that didn't stay around too long but leaves a super thin disc on top.

S - Very Euro Lager here. Grassy and a bit skunky smelling. Can detect some faint hops.

T - Similar to the smell. Bready and harsh in the beginning but I must say it has a pretty good hop profile if you can get over the high carbonation and rude skunkiness.

M - Overcarbonated. Very harsh on the mouth with the harsh flavors present.

O - The six pack grew on me a little bit. When I first tasted it, I thought it was just a big waste of money and I was going to pawn them off to my dad or party guests or something. I ended up liking them more as I drank them mostly because there actually are some hops and bitterness in the finish that you don't get with most other Euro Lagers.
