Crisp cheap lager aroma. No real distinguishing characteristics. Pours a dark caramel with a foamy white head. Bitter boring flavor, slightly sweet yuengling. Disappointing, blah palate, bubbly and tangy. Rune (2845), Tromsø, Norway

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2008 On tap at the Cock and Bull (formerly the Glendale Pub).
Pours a nice dark brown with thick rich tan head.
Aroma is bready, sweet, and yeasty, nice.
The flavor is sweet up front, a bit meaty, smoky, with a bit of bitterness at the back of the tongue.
Palate is nice and creamy.
This is a good beer, probably a good introduction to better beer for people new to good beer. tarheels86 (797), Washington DC, USA
