Here’s my rating from Ratebeer. It’s #1485 for me. Ratings are out of 5.
*Pours a slightly darker straw color. Aroma is very grassy, very grainy. Looks very effervescent with a zillion bubbles floating up from the nucleation points. It did turn out to be quite over carbonated. *
*Some watery lacing on the glass. A light head does stay the duration to it’s credit. *
Some light hints of maltiness in in the aftertaste. But almost no hops or other bitter aftertaste. Very watery mouthfeel. 4.2%abv is chicken shit and $13.99 for a twelve pack is insane.
Overall not horrible for a light beer (110 calories) but not particularly good either. If this is what passes for “REAL AMERICAN BEER” nowadays we are doomed.
Prediction: This will not stay on the market long.
Can.
A 12 pack of Miller Lite goes for $9.99 on sale around here. This stuff is ridiculously over priced for what it is.
It looks like this is a new release. On Untappd it has just over 1000 ratings and all in the last month. The average score being 3.37 out of 5. You don’t have to write a comment to leave a score on Untappd. Those that left comments seem divided into two camps - beer fans who scored it low, and Hulk Hogan fans that scored it high.
A question for @pkbites - On Ratebeer do you have to write a review to leave a score? Can you “check in” beers without leaving a score or review just to serve as a reminder to yourself?
Doug Fucking Ford ran for office, in part, on a “Buck a Beer” promise. That plan lasted about a month, for a few obscure beers that I don’t think I ever actually saw in a store. Even our cheap stuff is a lot more than that, and here you are complaining about less than a buck a beer.
$13.99 for this Hulk Hogan sweat is not less than a buck a beer. It’s more than Miller Lite which is a mainstream premium priced brew and even that is overpriced for what it is.
Need I remind you that I am in Wisconsin. Liquor and beer tax is among the lowest in the country. So if they’re charging $13.99 for it here I shudder to think what those in the cheeseless 49 are paying.
I don’t know. But I’ll know quite soon. My sister gave me a twelver of some stuff I think I’ve already had but neglected to rate. Going to try it this morning.
“Serve as a reminder to yourself” is exactly what I use RB for. If I come across a brew I don’t remember if I’ve had I check RB and I know if I’ve had it and how I liked it. Keeps me from repeating the same mistake twice.
Thanks for checking that out @pkbites. I’ve been on Untappd for 11 years and have 5530 unique check-ins there so won’t be switching to RB anytime soon.
I’m glad American lite beers haven’t made it to the UK, except Coors Light which is brewed here. I used to live in the US so know your pain. The problem we have here are mass produced lagers pretending to be continental but actually brewed here at a lower ABV than in their home countries. The latest example is Madri Excepional which pretends to be from Madrid, Spain but is actually brewed in Yorkshire.
When I was in Ireland last year I noticed that if a pup had one American beer on tap, it was always Coors. I couldn’t understand why, but this probably explains it.
I haven’t seen this, but it’s pretty much what I’d expect. I mean, if Hulk Hogan is going to be a big positive marketing endorsement to someone in 2024, what sort of beer do you think they’ll drink?
