Thanks goes to my fat and ugly friend Dieter for this offering which came in a 6 bottle mixer of random beers of mystery bought somewhere near WhiteFish in Montana over Xmas. Go screw, you sack of crap!
Poured out a very very thin white cap which does ok in the lacing department. Impressive crystal clear light amber beer. The aroma is weak with the immediate impression of wicking t-shirt after a sweaty activity. Slight sweetness and slighter hop. Really, I cannot get beyond that smell. What the hell is that? The taste is much better - fresh with mild yet rich and flavourful bread and caramel malts, lightly hopped which works really well here. Man, I’m just demolishing this beer. Without having to do a review I would easily have to drink this within minites. Slight spice in the hops. Very smooth with excellent soft yet active carbonation. Sticks to the mouth! Ends nicely with tasty lingering malt mix and a quick fading bitternesss. Still smell the sweat, dammit. This is a clean glass too. Yummy beer otherwise. Well balanced and well put together. I like this more every sip.

One of the worst beers I have ever had. A watery/medicinal taste. Would never purchase or drink again.

pours a clear orange-yellow with a small white head that goes away quickly, brown sediment is abundant, some lacing.
smell is of sweet caramel and roasted malts.
taste is watery, sweet caramel, few hops, some malt, roasted nuts, ends oily in the mouth with a little bitterness.

Had kind of a citrusy spritz on the palate, some light caramel and toasted bread notes. Really light bodied throughout, and not very exciting, but not undrinkable either.

Not much to say about this one. A copper color with a malty aroma. I detect some vanilla in the flavor with a bready caramel presence. A hint of citrus in it. Slight sugary presence. Ok to sink em but dont think em.

Bottle. Light amber, brief white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Spritzy, sweet caramel palate with a faint ginger ale quality that I didn’t like. Disappointing.
