COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
True Evel Daredevil Ale represents the bold and fearless spirit of legendary daredevil and icon, Evel Knievel. Unrelenting amounts of two-row pale malt give True Evel a body as strong and resilient as Evel himself. The intrepid red tone comes from generous amounts of roasted malts, adding a unique malty sweetness. Saaz and Mount Hood hop are added for a distinctly clean finish. The taste of True Evel embodies an Evel Knievel performance: a brief thrill becomes a memorable experience.

JPDIPSO (6618) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 16, 2016
Mildly murky dark amber color with a modest off-white head. Aromas of toasted malt, caramel and hint of herbal or lightly scorched malt bitterness. Lightly sweet with some brown sugar and light caramel. A “green” bitterness that is not quite herbal, but perhaps a bit to the sourdough variety. A bit like an Irish ale. 3/10

One of the worst beers I have had from Lakefront. Lightly sweet malt, but virtually no flavor or aroma but just some grain.

crossovert (17015) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 14, 2011
There is a subtle hoppiness, but it is rather sweet, and not much else. It seems like a 1 off for a special event and Lakefront didn’t take too much time in making the recipe perfect.
