Well, that is about what I want to tell Joseph James, brewers of this “beer”. I thought I was maybe being harsh on my initial impression of this brew, but alas… I was not. Around the country reviewers have such things to say about this beer as calling it “urinal water” on Beer Advocate. But alas, I digress. The beer weighs in at about 3.5%, much lower than even a Coors Light. This beer pours a extremely pale yellow, no head, no real aromas, nothing real flattering. The flavors seem to imitate citrus, but hold a hitn of guava of all things. Maybe a hint of allspice as well, nothing complimentary for what a hefeweizen should be. The only redeeming factor about this brew is the bottle gets to be added to my collection. But even the cap is burnt orange, and therefore unacceptable for any use of mine. The brewery logo is infact.. a skunk.
I should have been warned off by that, but alas, I like to give every beer a chance. So far I have only found about a half dozen that border on undrinkable, this is certainly amongst them. I will however give Joseph James a second chance with another brew, but I suspect I may have found another Abita.
