Name: Horny Goat Exposed
Style: Cream Ale
ABV: 4.9%
I recently got a bottle of beer from a co-worker of mine to try out to see if I like it. It's from a company called Horny Goat Brewing but it's owned by a company called Rex Beverage Holdings. From what I have gathered, their primary beers are the Horny Goat Brand but I could be mistaken.
I recall seeing Horny Goat in a few stores while I was in college. A couple years ago when I was still in school, I remember it being on sale at Zipp's Liquor near the back of the store right next to the malt liquor cooler and thought nothing of it.
Now thanks to my Co-worker, I now have the opportunity to try out their Exposed Cream Ale. From what I understand, alot of beer made by Horny Goat rely heavily on double entandrés and if you need to look up what that means, you're probably not old enough to read this blog.
Exposed pours a hazy yellow color with a fizzy white head and high amount of visible carbonation. Since there's no lacing, it has a very clean finish.
The nose starts things off with some pale malts and grassy notes.In the back are barley and cereal grains with a cardboard like quality.
Flavor has a maltier grassy taste but is otherwise the same as the nose with a less pronounced cardboard flavor.
Body is light and moderately carbonationed, and it comes across as rather crisp and refreshing.
If you were to take Spotted Cow and mix it with a Budweiser, this would be pretty close to that. It's not as bad as it could've been, but I wouldn't buy this. The good thing about this? I got this for free.
Horny Goat Exposed - 5/10
