Tap in a plastic cup from a hut on the square where all the street performers perform in Key West. Pours cloudy amber with a watery grain aroma. Watery copper flavor is only accentuated by the watery mouthfeel. May the sun set quickly on this mess.

12 oz bottle. Clear gold, off white medium head. Faint roasty grain aroma. Light body, a bit watery, lively carbonation. Mild malty swet flavor. Undistinguished, although no off flavors or anything overtly objectionable.

Murky copper color with no head. Aroma of... umm... air? Just a little malt taste with some hint of yeast. No bitterness. Surprisingly full body despite not really having anything in it. Eh, hard to complain.

Bottle and draught. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is mostly caramel and slightly bready. Flavor is similar, maybe with a hint of hoppiness. Nondescript but pretty decent.

Bouteille de 12 oz donnée par une collègue de travail. Arôme: Odeur de caremel et d’houblon. Apparence: La couleur est dorée avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle. Saveur: Goût de caramel et de miel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Faible effervescence en bouche. Présence de miel en arrière goût. (Rating #752)

Mostly sweet maltiness with very little hops. A hint of apricot as well. Light and rather bland.

12oz bottle. Pours beautiful bronze colour, with thin white foam head. A little hop in the aroma. Taste is very malty, almost reminds me of bourbon, bread with notes of citrusy hops. Finishes with a slightly hoppy bitterness, I think it could use a little more. A decent brew compared with the other Key West products. Might buy again.

Bottle: Amber color, lightl thin head. Nose is a bit oxidized with malty caramel notes. The flavor is a bit unbalanced, some bitterness and light sweetness and a thin body. I had expected more for a beer that I had brought all the way home from my vaction in the States.
