for a so-called macro, not too shabby, better than i remember, but being a "macro", loses points on overall taste.

Pours clear red with a nice beige head that fades leaving cropcircles. Sweet honeysuckle aroma. Taste is sweet roast malt. Very drinkable but nothing really stands out. But also there is nothing that is massively flawed with this beer. Probably the best mass produced BMC product.

This is a better than average American lager. It lacks bite, but is enjoyable to drink out of the shaker glass. Nice head and appealing reddish color. Especially good on tap. RJT

Well, as usual, this beer gets it done, barely. Good option for those who want to expand their beer tastes. Crystal clear copper reddish (barely), pours out a small off white crown that has decent retension and leaves some spotty lacing. Aroma is not the best, but, meh - I ain’t gonna complain...too much. Mostly malt, slightly toasted. Actually, that pretty much sums it up. Taste can be a bit off, but what I got here today is almost entirely malt, noticable chemicals at the end of the taste and some bitterness. Usually I don’t say this but drink this colder - just for your own enjoyment. The warmer it gets the worse it gets. Things are hiding and they come out when your glass sits to long. Light medium bodied. Seems thicker but isn’t. Nice smoothly carbonated swish but I’m not sold on the aftertaste here as I’m not a big fan of the bitter remnants. Don’t get me wrong - I could drop back a bunch of these. A good reliable brew for all.

Draft. Pours deep reddish in color with tan head. Aroma sweet and malty. Taste roasted malt and light hops with bitter finish.

Pours red with a smoky hops smell. The taste is descent with a lot of carbonation over all smooth.

a little stinky, has a simple barely noticeable malt flavor maybe a little less tangy than a American Pale. I used to like this one but now I find it a little boring. I can still drink one after another though so, Its got that.
