Slightly sweet, lagerish aroma. Clear Vienna colored beer, with a very thin head. Good label, great cap, twistoff longneck. A slightly sweeter version of their lager, maybe a little more metallic/astringent hopping. Pretty crisp finish with caramel popcorn notes. An attempt to pass off contract brewing as microbrewing. Why did I buy a six of this? Winn DIxie, on Special.

So I’m travelling through Florida trying to find a liquor store to buy some beer... I ask a gas attendant, and they tell me to go to a Winn-Dixie..... Well, I found this beer at the Dixie. I feel sorry for the southerners, because this was the best the grocery had to offer.... Not bad.

For some reason this is labeled as an ale and a marzen, which is very strange. Pours a mid orange color with no real head; very light on the nose, with some slight caramel malts, perhaps a hint of straw hops. Thin palate, underwhelming flavor. Finishes with nary a hint of hops. A decent quaffer for the price, I guess.

Very nice aroma with sweetness and some unique scent that I cannot place. Flavor is similar with malty sweetness backed by not overpowering hops. Tasty.

Hearty malt presence, caramel vanilla character is nice fairly well balanced and and the body is pretty quenching -really not awful all together.

This was a decent ale. It had an extremely quick finish. Not a beer that stays with you. I won’t search this one out, but then again, I wouldn’t turn one down.

12 ounce bottle- poured out a warm orange-gold with a small yellow head that did not last. Aroma was malt with a slight floral undertone. Very smooth palate, crisp malt taste with a slight sweetness. Enjoyed this, my 99th.

amber pour. sweet caramel malt aroma. also a sweet malt taste with just a tiny bit of hops on the finish. not a typical amber taste. not the worst every, but definitely not something I’d seek out.
