Can from Jungle Jim’s. Poured clear brown color with a large fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth sticky texture. Medium balanced sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of average duration.

Can (12oz). Do NOT look at this can hung over. Just don’t. Pours a very attractive bright refractive burnt copper with a decent sized fizzy off-white foamy head - even some nice Queen Anne’s lacing left behind - 4/5 for a Genny - go figure! There some roast in the aroma, grain and even some floral bitterness, but it’s ... somehow not really "there" - a bit weedy, if you follow me. The taste is light and simple - sweet caramel papery malt, some vague bitterness I can’t really attribute to anything specific, and weird aftertaste that won’t go away, like pesticide residue or something. Thin, flat and slick/sticky mouthfeel, a little alcohol burn in the tail, moderately harsh aftertaste. Kind of a roasty malt likkah, perhaps.

Sweet can. I love the old school can as well as the $6.45 price tag for a 12 pack. This brew poured wonderful reddish amber, with an off white head. The head is frothy and leaves good lacing on the glass. The aroma is of light malts and straw, adjusted with corn or rice. Also there is just a hint of caramel. The taste is sweet and malty, bready and pretzel like. Hops are almost a nonfactor. The palate is medium bodied creamy and smooth. Finish is short and sweet. Overall not outstanding but a good beer at a great price.

Pours deep amber with a small white head. Light nutty sweet malt aroma, but little else. Flavor is basically the same as the aroma. Light nutty sweetness, and little else.

good malty grog. refreshing well carbonated with a working mans mouthfeel that is fairly rich with a wave of wash and foam. good flavors and priced nice and affordable. darkly sweet and a good beer to sit down and knock away a few. i have drank many. and i recommend it to you.

This is really such an awesome beer that I would drink it year round if it became available. A treat to have and a great price as well.

the cool vintage can got me. I had to try it. And, it was not exactly terrible. Very macro lager like, but there was something at the end...something somewhat redeeming. Still not a good beer though. Somewhat reddish in appearance, and has a semi biscuity thing going on at the very end. The other 90 percent is not good. Guess Im out 79 cents.
