Pours a clear coppery color. It almost tastes like there is a light candied hops mixed with a Sam Adams. Something is just a off with this, not including the sad mix of marketing that is trying to be a craft/micro beer and something better and different that what they claim in commercials is the the best tasting beer in the US (Budweiser itself). The taste is just not something I like very much.

Pours a clear amber with a thin white head and some weird thin lace. Aroma somehow corny- dms, with a sharp lame plain medium to dark crystal malt and not much else- very little hops. Corny gritty flavor ok caramel flavor- becomes a bit metallic and harsh, hops are very subtle and a bit grassy. Tacky and harsh finish- fairly dry. Meh.

Draft at Woodys. Off white head with burnt orange color. Mild hop aroma. Mild fruity hops with a malty and bitter finish. Fades fast. I like it for an A-B beer.

descent frothy white/cream head not sure if artificially produced or all natural. wonderful aroma of sweet and sour. wasn’t what I expected at all. It has a full mouthfull of flavour with lots of taste. A nice balance of sweet/sour. By far the best A/B product I have savoured. I highly recommend this product as it produced a pleasant brew drinking experience for me.

Had this at the Detroit airport while waiting for the plane back to Japan. Came to me poured with a thin tan head and a light brown almost orange color. Aroma is light peachy sweetness, some wood and earth notes. Where is the cascade hops that I was promised? Oh well, onward. Not too bad, however, this really tasted very similar to Samuel Adams Boston Ale just with a slightly different hop profile. I mean there is some caramel sweetness and a slight correction of hops just like the formerly mentioned beer. This is just ok, still better than anything else A-B has produced in a long time.

Pours a five finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Nice crystal clear amber color. Good carbonation and light-medium bodied. Hints of a barley nose. Flavor is mild caramel with the hops balancing. Slight bitter finish. Better than most A-B brews. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Smiley’s Beverage Dover, NH.

12oz Bottle Pours out a amber topped with a sand head. Aroma of light malts and a little hops. Tast of light sweetness and more malts. Not as bas as I was thinking.

12oz bottle. Pours clear copper in color with full foamy light brown head. Aroma sweet caramel, spicy and lite hops. Taste sweet candy, caramel and hops with bitter finish. Not a bad beer for a Bud.
