Red color with wispy white head. Tast is non-distinctive, but smooth. Finish is extremely ho-hum. This is a decent beer with food, which is great at Bahamas breeze. But, ask about taking home a growler because with out the great food and the wicked atmosphere, this beer is only a small step above Budweiser.

On tap at Bahama Breeze. Aroma was very weak. Some dark roasted malt but very faint. Pour was a nice deep amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was bland and heavily carbonated. Not much flavor came through the carbonation except a little roasted malt. A good easy to drink beer to have during dinner but as far as craft beer goes, not very good.

Appearance: Red-amber body with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Highly effervescent. Why so gosh-darned fizzy, Aruba Red? Smell: Unimpressive, mild aroma smelling of toasted grains. Taste: Lightly toasted maltiness with a fair amount of sweetness. Very faint spicy hops with an almost imperceptible bitterness. Finishes with a lingering taste of shabby, flabby grains. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Fizzy, biting carbonation. Too fizzy, in fact, this thing is like a beer-flavored soda. Drinkability: Overall, it’s a bit reminiscient of Killian’s. Easy drinking, but the high level of carbonation leaves you belching into tomorrow. Come to Bahama Breeze for the food, not for the beer.

Draft @ Bahama Breeze - sweet malty toastiness boring bland and has no finish. Nothing bad but nothing exciting. Easy to drink and goes with pretty much everything on the menu.

Ok so I had no idea that this was a AB product...but even without knowing it I haven’t really thought much of it the few times I have had it at Bahama Breeze in Sunrise, FL. Amber color pour with a malty and boring aroma. The flavor is even more boring thant he aroma. Kind of sweet wtih malt tones and very little hops. Skip it please!
