| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 2, 2008 My nitro can pretty much just explloded on me... cant say I’ve had that problem with any of the nitro cans before. That said, pours a dark blonde, almost amber color with a creamy white that I would expect from a draught can. Has a decent aroma of sweet malt and maybe even a little banana in there. Now im sure, there is banana in th e taste along with a mild hoppiness. Not a very strong bitterness (which I expected from a bitter) , but this isnt bad. blutt59 (2145), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 29, 2008 I love this beer more then anything. The greatness starts with the pour and what I call the upside down waterfall. It then ends with creamy , sweet and bitter greatness all at once.
Closest to perfect I can give.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Pours a gold color with a hint of amber. Creamy looking 1 finger white head that sticks around for a while.
Very faint aroma. Not much detectable other than some biscuity sweet malt.
Nothing really stands out in the flavor here, with sweet doughy malt, a touch of sweet fruit and floral hops, and maybe some almond/vanilla sweetness as well. Very understated, but not in a good way. Overly subtle and somewhat watery.
Mouthfeel is, on the contrary, excellent. Extremely creamy and smooth, with good carbonation.
Very very drinkable, but not flavorful enough to really entice me. TheCaptain (559), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Pint can with the "wicket" or widget- cartridge. When poured into a glass it has a nice carbonation-bubles in action. Honey gold, white creamy head. This had a great creamy flavor light and clean. Had a bit of a bitter bite but very balanced and enjoyable. AaronBouchard (128), Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Nice creamy and smooth taste. Not too over powering , has a nice taste and is a little sweet. Ansset13 (127), Wilmington, North Carolina, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 25, 2008 The pour is a clear dark straw color with ample head. The nose is quite subtle and hints at hops and slight malt. The flavor is mild and dry. Better than Bud, but not a world class beer by far. ChainGangGuy (2588), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2008 Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, light amber body with a thick, creamy white head.
Smell: Faint aroma of shaving lather and floral hops.
Taste: Weak, almost non-existent malt character with a very faint honey-esque sweetness. Metallic hints. Mild bitterness that’s gone for the dry finish. Like water, it is!
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Somewhat watery.
Drinkability: If you’re looking for an extreme taste sensation, then you’ll be sorely disappointed. If you’re looking for a relatively low-alcohol, smooth, easy-drinking beer, then this’ll do in a pinch. Unfortunately, I prefer the former.
