Poured a hazy dark straw color with a quickly diminishing small white head. Aroma is pungent, cardboard, and lightly sweet/fruity. Starts fruity sweet and then very quickly goes to a moderately strong odd bitter finish. Dry and light to medium bodied.

Bottle pours hazy golden, nice foamy white head, attractive lacing, with subtle carbonation.   Sweet malty aroma, but also some corn in there.   Eeewwww, rather cereal and corn like.   Tiz also somewhat sweet.   This is not a Golden Ale.... this tastes like

  IMPERIAL BUDWEISER

YUCK!   Definite drain pour.   At least now I have a new label/brewer to throw on my site.   Thanks goes out to goldtwins for the freebie!

The name is very fitting for this beer, since it has a sugary taste and finish. Poured with a nice head which quickly dissipated. It smelled like honey to me, which I think intensified the sweet, sugary taste. I think it is too sweet for a session beer, however the one I drank tonight was pretty good. I would try it again, but only one at a time. It was a little TOO sweet/sugary!

This is supposed to be an old African beer recipe. I’m not sure exactly how I feel about African beer but judging by this stuff, it probably wasn’t too good. Clear yellow color with hardly any head. The aroma is lagerish, with a light yeastiness. Taste is malty with a light, funky bitterness.

Golden in color with a small white head. Aroma and flavors of butter and grainy malt. Thin and almost flavorless.

This beer tastes like it was filtered through a rusty pipe. If not for the saxophone on the label, this beer would have little or nothing going for it. Blech.

Hazy orange with a small white head. Orange peel and yeast aroma with some grass, medium bodied with lively carbonation. Starts and ends lightly bitter.

Not sure how this made it down to City Beverage in Winston-Salem, but whatever. Pours a lightly hazy pale gold color with a medium thin bone white head. Lightly effervescent. The aroma is somewhat hoppy and a little metallic. Light-bodied and rather crisp with equal parts hops and sweet malt. The finish is on the bitter side. Overall this beer is barely above average and nothing memorable.
