Copper color is nice. Head is small tight bubbles that are typical of what you’d see on mainstream full-calorie beers that have half-way decent head retention.
Smell is really pretty unimpressive. Hop odor is pretty faint for a product of this name.
Flavor seems really malty on the front end, and the hops aren’t really noticeable until the finish. Again, this is underwhelming surprising for a product of this name.
All in all, I’m not impressed. I know that A-B must have a robust R&D capability. However, I don’t feel that this product is a good demonstration of a capability that must exist within the nation’s largest brewer.

Aug 8, 2008 Semi-sweet but weak malt profile, has a bit of a sour grainy nose, with a slight bit of citrus. Nothing to remember, very forgettable.

Jul 8, 2008 Orange gold pour with a loose white noisy head. Weak malt nose. Easy drinking simple lager, nothing redeeming at all.

Jun 14, 2008 Nice gold color with a citris aroma. The taste is that of malt with a fruitish style hop that gives a nice balance. Can’t say it is because of organic ingredients or just a good brew master but this one is better than your typical domestic lager.

May 19, 2008 12 oz. pours clear and deep golden with a nice head. aroma is slight of banana bread. mouthful has got a decent malt body with some zippy carbonation. i would just like to know why AB is nowhere to be seen on the label... they sneak around in the micro brew shelves...

May 19, 2008 Ab’s attempt at a decent organic beer was a little weak to me. Pours an amber body with a hoppy aroma. The first initial taste is of citrus and then it fades away from there. Weak and a tad on the watery side. a little unbalanced.
