All good thing must come to an end. OK…maybe not everything that comes to an end was good. Take for instance this Horny Goat fest. This was down right bad. So lets finish this fest and move back on to real beer.
Beer #240 is Red Vixen by Horny Goat Brewing Company. This Vienna Lager brewed once more in Wisconsin, has an ABV of 5.4%.
No red to be found at all in the appearance, nothing but amber and that amber was a bit on the dark side. Very little head to speak of…so I won’t speak of it. I should have known, another Horny Goat with next to nothing in the nose department. OK, maybe just the slightest aroma of bread crust but I’m thinking I might have imagined that. It had a watery, bread-like flavor and not a good bread at that. It was much too thin in the body and had a bit of stinging carbonation. Crap…
Nothing to see here folks…move along. This was a horrible beer from a horrible craft brewer. I am happy that the Horny Goat fest is finally over. With an average somewhere between a D and an F, it would be wise to spend your money elsewhere.

I’ve been following your blog since I first heard about it on Beertutor.com. I am a big supporter of what you are doing here. I am fortunate that I haven’t had the bad luck of buying a mixed pack of beer that I really dislike as you did with the Horny Goat. If I ever come across a mix pack of HG, I will pass on it though I would try one or two singles if available. I would try the Milk Stout first since that seems to be an uncommon style and it got the best rating from you. Come hell or high water, I hope you make it to # 365. I am rooting for you even though I’m a diehard Red Sox fan! lol
Thanks for the comments and for visiting!
I guess I should have known about the Goat since the 12 pack was only $12. Oh well…you drink and you learn. Just think, I only have 25 more beers before I have 100 left! 100 bottles of beer on the wall …100 bottles of beer…take one down…oh well , I’m sure you know the rest!
Red Sox? Ouch…we should be mortal enemies… 🙂 Can you guys lose every once in a while…please…so the Yanks can make up some ground?
Thanks again for visiting!
Cheers!!!
Red Sox lose?! It is finally our turn after the 86 year drought and I’m going to enjoy it as long as I can. The Yankees have had a long run of championships, more than any other team, so I don’t feel too bad for them. I don’t consider the Yankees enemies, just rivals.
