kind of bland....definately need to add more spices to this recipe.

Not my favorite but definitely good. The German beer we had on hand wasn't Lowenbrau & lent a bitter taste to the dressing. Otherwise, it was great & easy enough for a kid to make, lol. Made for the Kid Friendly challenge of ZWT4. :)

I haved this and man is it good. I kept picking at it all afternoon,I hope there is enough left to get a decent photo. Now I just have to find a way to use up the rest of the beer:) Made for ZWT$ for the Chic Chefs.

I'm just going to comment, because I can't rate it fairly, as I couldn't get ahold of the beer for this recipe. So I made it using lemon juice and halved the recipe. I really enjoyed it, but realize the beer is what makes this recipe unique. Thanks anyway for a great coleslaw!
