Oculto

[Beernik]

This is a public service announcement so you don't get tricked into buying this AB, brewed the dumb way, attempt at a craft beer ripoff.

I've made an agave Hefeweizen and rather enjoyed it. So I thought this "blue agave infused" beer sounded promising.

Imagine a Bud Light. Add some tequila soaked light oak chips. Back sweeten it with agave.

That's right. A back sweetened beer.

Instead of coming across as earthy, it comes across as a syrupy Bud Light tinged with just enough tequila flavor to make it annoying.

Maybe someday I'll do this beer right with a Vienna lager or something like a Negra Modelo.

Wait. You mean Tequiza right?

Didnt they already make this product and fail with this product?

That's the first thing I thought when I saw this at the store.

 

[Psylocide]

You fools... this beer is so much more edgy tho.

 

[DrunkleJon]

oooh. its got smoke. Does the bottle really smoke like that?

 

[b-boy]

I fell for it. I thought the first bottle wasn't bad. After that, it was pretty much undrinkable.

Mine did not smoke. If it did I would have enjoyed it more.

 

[Beernik]

It pours with zero-head. I'm not sure I can accomplish that with any of my beers.

 

[Hello]

I can. But still, the beer sounds bad.

Strong sig to thread correlation OP.

 

[Homercidal]

I tried it. Too much Oculto flavor, not enough beer flavor. I wouldn't say it was undrinkable, but after one I wasn't wanting more.

 

[Tin4]

I like Belgians, but for the most part sweet beer makes me gag. Tequiza is the worst. I just gagged thinking about it.

Thanks. It was a temporary change in signature. I've changed it based upon a coworker's going away party today.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I've seen it around and heard some guys at work talking about it. I've had no desire to try it.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I had a can the other day with the idea "no way it can be as bad as that guy said". It was as bad as the OP said. Feh.

I figured out the correct way to drink this beer today. I had to keep trying because I bought a 6er.

We are moving my wife's shop today and I wanted a beer before we started working.

I chilled it down to 38F in my beer fridge. Then I poured it into a Budweiser freezable mug. The beer was so cold in the mug it actually formed ice crystals. Then I drank it really fast. Still cloying but tollerable.

I don't know, sounds like a good subject for your next tasting video.

that makes sense. you and your damn logic!!!

Tequiza was our high school "didn't even have a taste for actual beer yet" drink. My friends picked up a 6-pack of Oculto over the weekend for nostalgia value.

Big ol' "NOPE".

 

[SPR-GRN]

My father in law likes this stuff, I had no idea it was AB; sneaky sneaky "MICRO-BREWS SUCK! buy our macro-brews disguised as micro-brews"

I have yet to try it, because, reasons.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I'm gonna see if the manager of our local will sell me a mixed 6er of crappy beer to review. I'm gonna require him to be in the video.
