From a 12 oz. twist-off bottle, a coded freshness date on the neck, sampled at cellar temperature in a pint glass. Poured a clear orange hued red, like tarnished copper, with a foamy white head that quickly settled into a thin sudsy lacing. A faint nose, mainly toasted caramel malts. Good carbonation and a softly crisp, dryish, smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant tasting, toasted grainy and thinly caramel maltiness, a very subtle, light sweet, watery fruitiness, a soft hop bitterness, and a dry toasted grainy finish. Not bad, not great, passable drinkability, especially on this hot and muggy late June summer day.

I seem to remember this being a bit better back in the day when you couldn’t get it on the east coast. Now it is pretty to look at, but pretty average. Enough flavor to drink it, but not enough to rate it any higher.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. It pours red with a small fizzy off-white head. The aroma is of light caramel. The flavor is very one dimentional, and only has a slight caramel maltyness. The body is light with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Very light and crisp, not very complex, but very drinkable.

Poured this in a Shaker, and appeared to have a great amount of head....that in a flash was gone. Nice color of deep amber that appeared to want to be red. Very easy beer to drink and not at all intimidating for anyone. Perhaps a nice entry level beer for some as it is a twinge sweet. All in all a nice beer.

Sweet malty lager, with that metallic bite that most lagers share. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Sweet caramel/molasses malt aroma. Reddish amber with moderate head. Sweet caramel and lemon peel flavor. Light hops finish. Nice drinking brew.

Another typical dark lager, with mild tones of malt and barley. Not much hop backround, but nice smooth taste anyways. The finish is faster than traditional darks, but ok. Not great. Good
