This beer has a cloudy brownish body with just traces of white head. The aroma is very strange and smells like ketchup. The flavor has a bit of salt in it and a metallic finish. $1.29 12 oz at Total Wine, Naples, FL

Bottle-Nice looking amber color with a small head. A soft touch of hops gets you excited, but there isn’t a follow up. The flavors aren’t bad, but there just isn’t any depth to the taste. You can taste the fruitiness with the hops, but that’s about it. Totally unoffensive beer.

Pours a clear golden with amber hue. Minimal foam that dissapears real quick. Smells of grain and maybe a little straw. Not really anything going on here. Taste is as it smells, very little grain or straw. Nothing abrasive or offensive, just....nothing. Well carbonated and crisp in the mouth. Very drinkable and does the trick of wetting ones whistle on an uber hot day.

not much to rave about here. Bottle claims it to be a 3.5 of 5 on its own "dark" meter. well ok I suppose if your next darkest is a miller lite clone. anyways barely more then a gold color pour with white medium sized head. Nose kind of smells like cheap beer with a little more malt and a wince of hop. Flavor brings those qualities out a bit more bringing an almost toasted malt nutty character to the table. But not enough to entice and when mixed with its slight over carbonation it makes for a very mediocre drink.

Amber color. smells of malt and small amount of hops. Tastes alot more of hops than the aroma. Not bad to drink while watchin a sunset in the keys :)

Bottle. Nice visual explosion of red and orange. Robust aroma of malt and cherry. Palate starts well, with good richness, before suddenly disappearing under the horizon. Cherry flavour and some malt, again, gets things off to a good start before dropping off as the flavour evolution progresses. Average at best.

C-Bus 10: Bottle: Pours a clear gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma, pale malts, floral ntoes, a little sweetness. Flavor, pale malts, pretty weak, some floral hints. Not bad.

Draft in Orlando - Looked OK, smelled sweet and tired. Pretty feeble palate, not much there. I’ll pass in the future.
