Serving Type: 12 oz. bottle, poured into a Mark Twain pint glass
Does being from New Orleans make an American adjunct lager any better? Unfortunately, not really. The beer pours a pale straw body with a slight haz and a thin white head. The head is low on retention with minimal lacing. The nose is characterized by sweet thin malts with a slightly grassy edge. A mild honey sweetness struggles against a somewhat unpleasant astringency.
The beer is very sweet, lacking much balance of flavors. High carbonation makes for a fizzy mouthfeel. As the finish approaches a medicinal flavor develops with a sour graininess. The aftertaste isn't unpalatable, but unrewarding. Luckily, it is fairly sparse and dissipates quickly.
Final Verdict: D+
