Horny Goat Brewing Company

Brewed in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Hopped Up 'N Horny - This 5.3% ABV beer pours a bright and shiny copper/amber in color.  The aroma is hop forward, fruity, with a solid malt background.  The taste is bitter and malty, a bit of fresh brewed sun tea.  I suspect this bottle might be past its hop fresh prime.

Horny Goat Belgian Style Wheat Beer - Brewed with coriander and orange peel.  This 5.2% ABV beer pours golden in color, bright yet cloudy.  The aroma is yeasty, very heavy on the banana, and the coriander is evident.  The taste is a very strong yeast-wheat-banana effect that is found in many wheat beers.  If you like that, you will very much enjoy this beer.  I am not a big fan of it, but find this beer more palatable than many with that flavor profile.

Red Vixen Vienna Style Lager - This 5.4% ABV beer pours light copper and amber in color.  The aroma is both sweet and tangy, grain and fruit.  The taste is light, fruity, slightly sweet, on a bed of grain, with a bitter hop finish.  This is pretty drinkable, but it has a very bitter and lingering aftertaste.

Horny Blonde Lager - This 5.0% ABV beer pours golden in color.  The aroma is a slight, sweet graininess and spicy hops.  The taste follows the aroma.  The finish is bitter and dry.  It is very amply carbonated and burns the mouth.

Exposed - This is their take on a farmhouse ale.  The 4.9% ABV beer pours dark honey golden in color, a bit cloudy, with a dense white head.  The aroma is lightly fruity, a bit of zest.  The taste is fruity, plum and grape, with a base of grain, and a bitter hop finish.  This is not going to knock your socks off, but it is interesting and solid.

Stacked Milk Stout - Pours black with medium carbonation and a small off white head.  The aroma is clean and brassy, with a bit of chocolate and coffee.  The taste follows the aroma directly.  It tastes a lot like Guinness with a less creamy and more carbonated mouthfeel.  A very drinkable and tasty light stout.
