Beer 30:
What time is it?! No, not Hammer time (though that’s an idea for this weekend), but it is Beer 30, the greatest time around the clock.  However, these good times somehow do not make it through the tall boy’s architecture.  Brewed by Melaine Brewery in Lacrosse, Wisconsin this 4% ABV light lager is late on taste to say the least. The brew pours nicely with a good head but that dissipates a whole lot quicker then I thought it’d would and really admits nose (or odor) to speak of, a slight nose of wheat…maybe.  The taste is of a cheap lager that leaves the mouth dry like champagne and really has not after taste expect for that desert feeling.  For a cleverly named beer, this one could have been a major home run.  It’s got a built in marketing already and if it was even halfway decent, it would have been a great summer beer, but alas, it’s not only late to the party, it doesn’t even show up for the party.  I’ll mark this under curiosity and novelty and won’t give it a second look again.  In research on the brewery, I found a review that described the taste as “I licked the inside of the can then sucked on some wheat.” Well said.
