Spatula Down

Jennifer Mastroianni: These are a terrific kettle chips with loads of crunch and potato flavor. Unfortunately, they don't taste one iota like beer. As in, not even the faintest flavor. Beer Chips with no beer. Bummer.

Spatula Up

Saimi Bergmann: First the hint of sweetness, then the salt, then the crunch -- it's a party for the palate! I only tasted a malty, beer-like flavor on some of the chips (actually only on 1 out of every 10 or so), but I'd still buy these again. No weird aftertaste, no added high fructose corn syrup -- just a great-tasting chip.
