My Funky Ballantine or Did A Hobo Throw Up In My Mouth?

The Beer: Ballantine Ale

Chosen By: Keith

Keith:
Will turn your collar blue if it isn't already. This is a good solid American Pilsner, and that's coming from someone who doesn't love many Pilsners, especially American. The cost is cheap and the taste is dry, crisp and light-bodied. Would be a good cheap summer beer if it weren't currently the dead of winter. The label is beautiful, simple and classic splashed with good ole' American marketing's creative use of adjectives:
'Ballantine Ale, America's LARGEST Selling Ale.'

That about says it all. Scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 5 or a 7.5 if you are in the right mood.

Ashleigh:

The odor is dreadful. Just dreadful. That said, here's my review.

I awoke in a gutter to the sounds of my fellow homeless brethren in a mixed squabble about who's big toe, toe nail would fall off first. My first response was, "Shut up, I'm sleeping off a Ballantine Ale bender." Then two teeth fell out of my mouth and landed in a puddle as an insufferable stench cloud rolled out of my mouth. My clothes reeked of death and failure. Thanks Falstaff.

2 out of 10 for the beer. 8 out of 10 for the packaging.

Robby:
Nothing like a Ballantine for Valentine’s. No matter how lonely you are on this “Day of love” there is always comfort to be found in Ballantine’s skunky nectar. Cuddle up next to a hot fire, pinch your nose and chug away. Ballantine, I love you.
