An honest attempt, sertainly a good gateway beer. As though beer were the center of the universe. Pour is lovely. Caramelly and clear. ORange around the edges. Good head that dies and leaves a nice trickly mess. Nose is nonexistant. Sweetness. Cardboard and corn. Not much else honestly no hops. Flavors are broader versions of this. Lots of Brown sugar sweetness. Still the cardboard and corn. Corn aftertaste is incredibly complex though. Like biting into some of the best weet corn you’ve ever had. No hops?

Nov 25, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy orange-red color with a small, frothy off-white head, fair lacing. Aroma is sweet, pale malts, nuts, a touch of yeast, and light earthy hops. Flavor is caramel, apples, yeast, a hint of citrus and earthy hops. Mouthfeel is light to medium, dry, and bitter. Pretty drinkable beer.

Nov 24, 2009 Pours amber reddish brown with a creamy off white head. Aroma is very malty and creamy with mostly nuts and caramel. Some buttered toast notes too that were strange. Flavor starts sweet and malty with a bit more nuttiness. Quickly gets bitter and sharp mid-swallow. Finishes sharp and astringent with a harsh fruitiness and a lingering bitterness. Med body and a fizzy carbonation. Kind of reminds me of Fat Tire just worse.

Nov 11, 2009 Light clear amber color. Good head, but dissipates rapidly. Leaves a very decent foam covering. Great lacing.
Smells sweet and malty. Almost like caramel. Definite earthy grain scent, also.
Caramely malts with dark fruits, like raisins and figs. Slight earthiness quality. Minimal hops bite, almost missed it.
This is a medium-bodied brew. Since I like a big bold-bodied brew, I find this to be way too light. Not enough carbonation to even get a creamy feeling.
If, at a social gathering, this was what was available to drink, I’d be alright with it. I just won’t be filling the fridge with it anytime soon.
