pours a semi-hazy orange with a small off-white head, good lacing.
smell is malt, some grains, hint of corn, some citrus, a little caramel.
taste is thick, hoppy, slight grapefruit, malt in the back, touch of caramel, some citrus, touch of spice, nice bitter ending.
overall a very nice refreshing beer.

Single from Three Cellars Milwaukee. Nice easy hop and bitter taste. Smooth and very enjoyable.

Bottle. Clear, light golden orange pour with very little head. Aroma of sweet malt and hops. Medium bitter hop flavor, but still very drinkable.

Golden yellow with a medium white head, slowly fading. Aroma of citrus, toasted malt, cereal grains and bread. Taste of toasted malt, citrus and alcohol. Finish is semi bitter and a bit strange. Perhaps I am suppose to feel like I downed a sword. A steel hop lager? I would rather have a steel hopped ale, but hey it was not too bad, especially for the price as I found it on closeout. Hopefully the problem with rate beer not accepting apostrophes ends soon...

Bottle. Pours a clear orange with a thick foamy white head. Aroma of light fruits (some citrus, raspberry) and stale wheat. Flavor starts off a little shaky with lots of stale wheat, but then it gets a bit fruitier and citrusier with some light citrusy hops. Dry, wheaty finish. This beer has some nice flavor, but I’d like just a little more! Still, pretty tasty.

Draft at Redlight. Bright crystal clear gold color. Foamy head. Herbal hoppy nose. Floral and spicy hop flavors, Malts are thickish with a strong sugar cookie presence. Full bitterness in the finish.

Pours clear orange / copper with a quickly diminishing off-white head. The aroma has toasted nutty malt, some caramel, lager smoothness, some earthy hops and green onions. Medium lightly biting body with minor sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with very toasted molt, dirty earthy hops and peppery spice. The finish has a lot more earthy dirty hops. Okay, but not my fave from the Coney Island line.
