Dixie

Dixie is simply a common american pale lager. It pretends to be nothing more, and as such it has a tendency to sit on the shelves and stale. I'm sorry for Sandra430 that she experienced this phenomenon. At $1.25 it was a good buy. When fresh, this is a great bar beer, with a richer flavor than comparable beers like Bud, Pabst, and Schlitz, and a clean yet somewhat bitter finish. I find it to be well balanced. It is a favorite american regional beer for me, great when ice cold and fresh. The best place to find it fresh is The Under the Hill Saloon in Natchez Mississippi.

Poured a clear and bubble pale golden color with a nice cap of white head taht quickly faded and had very little glass cling.

The hops were a bit skunked and the scent of cheap grain left an undesirable impact on the nose.

The taste was kind of present, watered down grainy malt and stale hops. I bought just one bottle but I can't help feeling a bit put off that it cost $1.25.

Mouthfeel was consistant with water save for the carbonation. Slightly sour taste stays on the palate after swallowing.

If I were to sum the overall experience of this beer up with one word, that word would be "stale".
