Nothing special here. Should have more hops and more body. Flat and below average.

Bottle. Fruity malt aroma. Reddish orange and amber color with small head. Sweet fruity (mixture of peach, orange and berry) malt flavor with a pecan finish - light hops. Not too strong and pretty fruity. Nice middle of the road beer.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours a reddish amber with a medium yellowish head. bditty187 said that these florida beers would not be the worst beer I’d ever tasted. He’s right, but they are certainly nothing special. Mildy hoppy, the finish leaves a bit of tartness. Benign.

About the only good thing about going to a Jimmy Buffet restaurant. I would have guessed it was a Pale Ale based on the color and flavor, but then again I don’t know much about American Blonds. Anyway, it went well in the Florida setting, and I think they hit the nail on the head in the marketing department, because I can definitely see sitting on a beach watching the sunset with one of these.

Key West is such a lovely locale, it’s hard to not have one’s ratings tainted by the the atmosphere at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville as I swilled a couple of these while listening to his hit "Margaritaville" on the loudspeakers. Slightly bittered. Considerably more flavored than Key West Lager.

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)

Pours a light copper with weak off white head. This beer has a decent malty aroma with slightly roasted malts and a hint of caramel. The taste is much like the aroma with lightly roasted malts, caramelized malts and a hint of astringency. Not at all bad. It is better than I was expecting.

Amber, fast disappearing head. Fruity and yeasty aromas. Thin and grim. Lots of rotting fruit and old soap. Does not finish clean. Disappointing.
