Hedonism Ale - Legacy Brewing Co. - Reading, PA

Hedonism Ale Stats
ABV: 7.0%
IBU: 110
fl. oz.: 12
SBQ (Sexy Bottle Quotient): 8

From mine own hometown comes a beer that, from the looks of its bottle, is so cleverly crafted, it's got to be delicious. Well, it isn't. Hedonism Ale is a red ale based on the Killian's Irish Red template. The only problem is, Killian's is not a good template to follow.

This brew brings a whole new meaning to Bitter Beer Face, as it leaves your mouth dry, your face cringing, and your tongue aching for something else to wash away the taste.

I really wanted to like this beer, but yet, all I can muster for it is a C+. Maybe next time, Legacy should focus more on making the beer taste good, and less on the downright hilarious packaging, which, by the way, includes the tagline "An Orgy of Ingredients" (classic).

I like how the guy who brought the Keystone Light pulls two out of the cooler and then (at the 25 second mark) discards one of the beers off to his left. How does he know got the right one?

Subquestion: Does anyone know why these zany kids are celebrating 13 consecutive losses?
