The flavor is fruity, white grape juice? The palate is fizzy and watery. Less offensive than the Ale, but still needs work. Meh. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-brown body with a small, white head.
Smell: Somewhat meager aroma of toasted malts and watered down apple juice.
Taste: Toasted malts with a mild caramel sweetness. Mild spicy bitterness. Mild hint of fruit. Abrupt, drying finish. You get the idea.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body with a decidedly watery texture. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not exactly something deserving of the label of "classic", but it’s alright as long as you fully understand you’re getting a light, though easy-drinking amber lager. FROTHINGSLOSH (2036), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 5, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark red-amber color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was sweet, malty and nutty with a sour and lightly vegetal undertone. The flavor was very malty yet sour and tangy with a hint of caramel and raisin. The finish was long, malty and tangy. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA
