Served cold in a 32 oz. mug. This could be the beer equivalent of what house wine tries to be - nothing special, nothing spectacular, nothing really bad, no one will hate it but few will remember it. Smooth, light taste, finish is quick & minimal, no bitterness, just as it seems it could get interesting, the taste is gone.

The sum of this beer is greater than it’s parts. Although it has virtually no aroma, taste, or tingle to inform your palate that it has arrived, it’s not a bad drinking experience. It’s not offensive in any way, it’s just like water. You can forget yourself while drinking one.

Light amber pour with a white head. Nice light malt aroma-some sweetness, caramel. Taste is crisp, clean. It has hints of caramel and is a bit creamy. Left a nice lace.

Served at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Bedford, TX. Poured a deep yellow with a white head. Aroma of malt and biscuit. Taste was simple malt, biscuit and grass - nothing extraordinary. Tasted good while washing down some awesome oysters and shrimp - not sure if it would make for a great stand-alone drinking brew but it wasn’t a drain pour either.

Aroma of dishwater? Looks nice, clear amber, high carbonation. Kind of bland malt with a touch of bitterness that sticks to the tongue. Overall, I would pass, nothing to see here.

Looks more dark orange than amber. Not much head. Clear and light-looking. Average appearance. Nice sweetened burnt malt. Brown sugary. Almost a mild Scotch ale smell. Toasted barley. Sweet and dry all at once. Striking sharp malt with sweet brown sugar and molasses. Some mild caramel. Like a liquid "Sugar Daddy" candy bar. Sweet but not saccharine. Thick and chunky, chewy feel. Milky and smooth. Really nice on the palate. Very sweet but not *too* sweet. Really well crafted and delicious.

Bottle: Poured an amber color with a white head. The aroma was light malts. The flavor was sweet, hint of malts and fruits. Overall, nothing exceptional but good quality.

bottle, pours light amber with a medium frothy off white head. Aroma is nice with the crystal malt very sweet smelling, some floral hops as well. Sweet doughy malt flavor with a smooth bittersweet malt finish. Not bad.
