Very clean flavor, a bit of malt, a bit of caramel. Light and drinkable, but still not much there. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Oct 11, 2008 From a 12oz brown bottle - Pours a clear pale orange. Not pretty too all. Smells of corn and light malt. Below average carbonation. First sip is almost flavorless with just a tad of hops and malts …almost water like. I can not imagine consuming this product. nearbeer (1858), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 19, 2008 Updated: Jan 27, 200912 oz. Clear copper with a small, lasting disc of foam. Spots of soapy lace. Light aroma of spicy-sweet grain and caramel. Flavors of molasses, toasted nut and dry grain husk with a light orange-apple twang. Light-medium body is a bit watery and fizzy, but very dry. Not great, but very drinkable. Reminds me of some of the fair-to-middlin English bitters. Swalden28 (1513), McKinney, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 10, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear amber with off-white head. Aroma has some caramel in it. Flavor isn’t half bad, some malt notes, hints of caramel, some hop flavor with a slight citris tang with a little bitterness in the end, small hint of alcohol. Palate is light body with high carbonation. Over all, not bad....I’d drink another. UriahHeep (105), Georgia, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Bottle @ Shokitini in Athens, GA. Rather watered down to be called "premium lager." Fortunately this beer gets a boost from a slightly floral aroma and subtle citrusy notes. Thin-bodied. Sweet water. Better than a typical American macro but not really a "craft beer." mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
