Anyone try this one yet???

Have not.

Having one now. It is as bad as you think it might be. They could have gone with Keith's Malt Liquor and been more accurate for the style.

lmfao. On tap or in bottle? Did they put the peat malt to it?

500 ml cans and 6 packs of bottles. I'd say no on peaked malt - they just let the fusels take care of the "smoky" character by not watering down the regular Keith's before blending it with a tiny bit of the dark. At least that's what it tasted like to me.

Bought some last night, It'very pretty in a glass...................... kind of orange, nuff said!

Had one last night. Not very good (surprise). Low carbonation (maybe to style, I don't know, but doesn't help this beer). Overly sweet, and otherwise more or less tasteless, with slight residual smokiness (but more phenolic than peaty).

Why doesn't Keith's just make a small batch of yummy beer to gain some cred? Their brewers are obviously trained and capable of making something delicious. I am mystified.

Have one in the fridge now...the anticipation is insane....

Trained yes but there is no evidence to support the second half of this statement

Oh so very true LOL

Sent from the hop-phone.

I don't know - making the odd (hmmm - make that "occasional") delicious beer shouldn't be beyond them. Though I do say so myself, my very first all-grain turned out pretty well: and I hope they're better trained than I am. So I really think I have to agree with Jason. They should be "capable" ... but corporate policy says it's not allowed.

Well, I had a few sips. Not great, but I don't think as bad as the Harvest Ale. There's something in there, but the beer is so polished and thin, any flavour disappears instantly. Poured the rest into the roast. Might make OK gravy.
