Bought it as a "traveller" (plastic cup and a brown paper bag for the bottle) so I could drink it on the street while walking back to my cruise ship on a VERY hot day. Could’ve had a Bud; this was better plus a good addition for my bottle collection. Would have another any time.

An adequate American Pale, nothing great. Deep gold color. Some moderate malt and hop presence. Finishes a bit thin and watery, but is refreshing and clean tasting.

Peachy-gold, good head, overdone label, screw-off cap, so I dinged it for appearance. Fair body and palate. Slightly tart, mellow/sweet middle with somewhat eggy(?) finish. Fair to slightly above average fare.

I had this on tap in Key West. It tastes great next to Budweiser et al. This beer was a cloudy amber with a nice little head that laced a little bit. Had just the right mix of hoppiness and lightness for easy drinking. Slightly bitter, but that’s okay for me.

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.

Dark red and murky. Musty hop and peach aroma, some malts but with a dominant strawberry and banana flavor. Light lemons as well, maybe some pineapple. Nothing really mixes well, it's a clusterfuck of citrus fruit and it doesn't really do anything. Spicy yeast in the finish. Thanks to Matta for sending this.

This beer pours a light amber color with a medium head and little lacing on the glass. The aroma is fairly hoppy and a little sweet. The taste is very light and a little sweet with some different spices thrown in to make it interesting. This beer drinks easily and is light enough to down several without any problem. Not sure if they are available outside of the Keys - had mine while on vacation in Key West.
