Tallgrass Ale

I got this pint of beer for $1.00!!!  It was a part of a "build your own" six pack from a great beer store on the MO/AR border.  It is bottled/canned in Manhattan, KS.  I guess this could be the official beer of Kansas St U!!  I didn't realize that there was a brewery in Manhattan.

OK, now for the beer.......on the can it says "Defiantly Dark. Seductively Smooth."
It is dark and smooth, I will vouch for that.  It is actually, almost too smooth.  It is very light on the carbonation.  One could say that it is on the borderline of being flat.  I  am not the one to say that.

Is this beer the greatest thing ever???  Maybe not..........but..........it was a dollar..........and it is brewed in a great college town with a 4.4% ABV.  I know this.....I would drink the heck out of this if I lived in Manhattan, KS (especially if I were a college student..GO Wildcats!)

  1. Ok, so I know it is a little different for someone to comment on his own post, but I feel I need to. I drank another Tallgrass the other night. I'm not as high on this beer as I was when I reviewed it. Let me just say my most recent tasting took place a "little earlier in the evening" when I had more function of the taste buds. The beer tasted a little like a home brew gone bad. Don't know if I will buy any more.
