text: i don't know if my bottle came from a bad batch, but there's something horribly wrong going on here. the brew didn't look all that bad. it poured a golden/light copper colour with a minimal head. i can only equate the smell to something along these lines: it seemed like something died in the bottle. this wasn't the standard heineken skunky smell, but much worse. sadly, i pressed on. the initial taste was nothing impresseive. almost completely watery with maybe a hint of grain or citrus (perhaps?), but the aftertaste was an absolute killer. worse than the smell. there was some sort of metal/sulfur/rye/skunk thing going on here that you'd really have to taste to believe. it's quite hard to describe. i couldn't even finish the pint because of it. others have said this brew isn't that bad. i may have to reluctantly give this one another shot down the road in hopes that i was a victim of a bad bottle, but for now, i'd recommend staying away from this brew.
