Nothing great about this but what can you expect at a cheeseburger in paradise? Its miles better then coors light and the only viable option they had so it was a no brainer of an order. Watery and a artificial hop flavor - it did the job of washing down food. I feel like i will get it again someday only because i feel like i will be at Cheeseburger in Paradise someday....

On tap at Cheeseburger in Paradise, Legends KC. Labeled as Paradise Beach Ale. Leine brews this on on contract for the Buffet restaurant. The body is dark bronze with a long lasting medium khaki head. The aroma has some sweet oranges and light caramel. There is also a little bit of fresh baked bread. The taste has some rich notes of apples and bread crust. There is a nasty finish of pear core and old nutmeg. A little nasty in the finish.

This beer is just OK. It is a dark amber with no head. I had it at a Cheeseburger in Paradise in Jersey. There is virtually no palate and OK malty flavor. Nothing Special

Draft at the Yacht Club. Amber with frothy white head. Citrus and caramel aroma notes. Caramel, citrus, and metallic flavour notes. Fairly balanced.

On draught at various locations (ie: Grandmas in downtown Minneapolis, Applebees at various locations, Curly’s Pub at Lambeau Field Atrium, Bubs Brewing Co in Winona, MN, etc) pours a clear golden amber brew with a thin and fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of golden grain malt and caramel malts with a touch of citrus and grassy hops. Taste is medium bodied with some carbonation with flavors of caramel, toffee, some citrus zest and a touch of light fruit. Finish has a slight gritty texture with a mild aftertaste if caramel and citrus zest.

(Sampled 7-9-08 at Cheeseburger in Paradise in K-zoo, MI under the guise of House Ale) 16 oz. draught in shaker- dark red/amber in color, very light carbonation, 3mm off white head when delivered. Aroma of some hops and nuts- weak overall. Hits the mouth with a high-thin body, malt is rather pale (young?), some cream in the middle, ever so slight hop finish that is kind of uneven. Better than drinking Bells I guess...

Draft, pours a deep red-amber with off-white head. Aroma and flavor of nuts and caramel malts with hints of brown sugar. Easy to drink session brew.
