jb (1024), Rochester, New York, USA Sep 9, 2009 Copper colored,fairly clear. Some lacing, some retention. Aroma is grassy, sweet, some bread dough. Palate tastes of toffee, is somewhat thin. Has a bit of an English style to it. Okay. jgb9348 (2492), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Sep 9, 2009 Slightly hazy amber coloured body with copper tints and a thinnish, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of malt, corn, metal, a light caramel scent and a touch of sugar. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent corn taste with rice, cardboard and rye noticeable up front fading to metal, bitter malt and gross nuttiness. Aftertaste just shows some off flavours with nothing pleasant - just a funky cardboard and fake taste. Overall, pretty bad and definitely not worth trying. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits on 25-July-2009, sampled on 08-September-2009 at home in Washington. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Jul 19, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Clear bubbly amber-gold with a lasting fizzy straw-coloured head (4-). Smells of moderately roasty bready grain and light herbal bitterness, maybe a hint of extract-tang. Taste - ew, metal, pvc, cheap hop oil, caramel grain backing it up - ehhh. Fairly thick body, slick, weak carbonation, stick and a little harsh in the aftertaste, like dead grass or something. Dug the smell though. hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 13, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a medium and clear amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toastiness with some caramel. Tastes of the same toastiness and caramel. Not too much to this one. Body on the weaker side. Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 5, 2009 This poured a slightly dark yellow with a big white head. Aroma was sweet maltiness and some adjuncts as well. Flavor was malty, boozy, and some adjuncts and off flavors too. Tihs was not very good at all. Birdiebeagle (778), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA May 25, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear copper with a good off white head. The head leaves quickly. Aroma of caramel malts. Hasan okay carbonation. The flavor is slightly sweet with a bitter ending. Has a watery texture. A light body. It is a easy to drink beer not real heavy. The finish is soft. No real mentionable aftertase. You could more than likely drink a bunch of these on a hot day but its not a super beer. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA May 13, 2009 Pours deep copper with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, not much else. Tastes of caramel malt, bittering hops, with slight brown sugary notes, yet is stays malty and unidimensional. Not a repeater for me, and not a great beer. jmm635 (250), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA May 10, 2009 Crystal clear copper color with a nice off-white head. Mostly sweet caramel on the nose with a malty base, very much indicative of the flavor. Light bodied and a little watery. Not something I’d go out of my way to recommend, but it’s drinkable.
