Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2010 2 pints at Bull Run Inn, after trying two samples. This beers taste had an uncanny resemblance to a bowl of fruity pebbles. Included the citrus and coriander aroma and taste, esp when served with an orange, and poured a body similar to Blue Moon. I really liked this brew. Easy to drink, great tasting if you like fruity tastin
Pours a rather unattractive murky brown with a small head of tight bubbles. I kid you not, it smells just like fruity pebbles. Unsurprisingly, it tastes exactly like liquid fruity pebbles in my mind. Once it warms a bit, the very sweet orange flavor gives this brew more balance. Too sweet, too weird, too fruity-pebbly....
Way to ruin the delicious flavor of Fruity Pebbles, Leinenkugel! You dirty bastards! Someone needs to shut these guys down.
