12oz bottle, twist-off. Reddish copper color. fizzy, foam off-white head. Aroma of bubblegum and malt. Lots of CO2,. Flavor is of an oversweetened Macro Lager. Too sweet. Nasty taste. Lots of malt and way too much corn syrup flavors. Finish has a big floral hop in it, but again with the bubblegum. This beer trashed my palate.

Had a few pints of this on tap at Murphy’s Pub in Champaign, Illinois. Poured a nice amber color with a small white head that disappeared quickly. The aroma was nothing exciting... just a lot of malt. The taste was also very malty. I have never been a fan of Killians, but this was a lot better on tap. It is still nothing I would seek out regularly though...

Pours a nice amber color with a very fine white head. On tap at Bobby Joe’s Irirsh Pub. Decent lacing. Aroma of light sweet malt, and sweetness. Flavor of sweetness, some caramel, and light malt. An okay beer, but not at the top of the list.

Pours amber with a smallish white head. Aroma is pretty light with mainly pale malts coming through and a slight bit of caramel. Taste is malty with some sweetness coming through, not bad really.

From a bottle. Pours a deep amber with a mall head. Some small amount of malt in the nose but not much else in the aroma. Some notes of bready malt, and and metallic flavors. Thin and watery.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a small, off-white head. Smell: Weak, nearly non-existent aroma with just a bit of green apple and hint of malt. Taste: Overall light flavor, there’s just a touch of grainy malt. More of the green apple from the "aroma". Very, very light bitterness. Watery finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Watery mouthfeel. Drinkability: A real letdown.

Aroma a bit musty, but this beer looks great. It pours with a decent tan head and has a true bronze until held up to the light, then the red shows through. The flavor is medium malt with decent hops. A good beer for a mega-brewer.

Tap. Nice redish-brown color with minimal head. Smells sweet, with a little hop in the nose. Tasted the same but with a metallic taste. A little on the watery side.
