12 oz bottle, dated Jan 2008. Pours a clear golden amber with a fizzy white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film.

The aroma is sweet metallic malts with a little toasted bitterness.

The flavor is sweet nutty and toasted malts with a little leathery bitterness at the finish. It’s a bit medicinal. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some semi-sharp carbonation.

Overall, a step up from standard BMC beers, but not very good.

Very good beer. Extremely tolerable and smooth. Pretty malty and when compared to any other mass produced beer, it blows most anything away.

This beer is often the most drinkable beer at many places, not a bad beer, decent malt presence, a step up on most mass produced domestics.

From bottle. Nice slightly off-white head that remained for some time; rim of head remained for an hour with decent lacing. While not a complex beer by any standards, the heavy malt combined with notes of caramel add to a rather full and drinkable beer. Better quality for the price than would be expected, especially if you’re looking for something malty. Overall, a decent beer that can even be a good beer if you’re mood allows, though lacking in complexity to score any higher.

Bottle from local supermarket. Pours red with a light head. Head dissipated quickly. Very little aroma. Initial impression has a very woody taste. Follows light and easy to drink. Slightly bitter finish. Overall, it’s an OK beer, but nothing great and nothing I ever want to drink a lot of. The initial hit of the woody flavor and awkward bitterness turns me off every time.

Pours a reddish amber color with a decent head. Not a bad beer, but not a great one either. Had it in the bottle and on tap, not much difference between the two. I’d still drink it over a Bud or Miller.
