Formerly brewed at Warbird Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale

why is this beer being ripped apart, its cheap and one of the better cans out there, well at least for me....good lookin can...tasty on the gun...is refreshing and highly drinkable...i can see this becoming a cheap fall back beer...some people...

What a wretched foul beast. The epitome of a trainwreck beer. Pours amber with a large fluffy beige head. The aroma has light diacetyl, lighly toasted malt and butterscotch. Medium body with a lot of semi-soft carbonation. Starts with a light fruitiness, then the oxidation kicks in HARD - cardboard in a big way. Light spice on the finish, also astringent and metallic. This was terrible - a drainpour. I’m not a fan of ambers, but this disaster makes Fat Tire to be a world class brew.... and Fat Tire is boring as all get out. Avoid this thing at all costs.

Creamy pour with a dense head, but cloudy. Caramel and toasted malt aroma with some metallic notes. Very watery. Caramel and toasted malt flavor with some astringency and cardboard notes. Not too great and definately past it’s prime.

Can. Pours waaaaaay better than BMC, so I give it props. Aroma is very peachy, but the metallic background hinders it. Decent lacing, amber glow. Flavor is American Ale light; slight peach with malty undertones. Hops make a brief appearance but don’t do much. Average mouthfeel. Not terrible; nice addition to a party where the partiers only drink BMC... won’t theyu be surprised.

(can from irishboy)amber body with a small white head.smells and tastes heavily of oxidation.small hop finish.

Hazy orange-brown color. Some malty chocolate and caramel in the aroma. The flavor is mostly watery, bitter, slight floral and fruity taste but not much going on overall- almost none of the caramel from the aroma.

Pours a hazy oranged-out amber with a vanishing white head. The nose is lightly caramel, a touch of fruit, some floral hops. Very weak though. The palate is really about the worst I’ve encountered in a beer. Watery doesn’t begin to describe this nearly flat feeling, but somehow slightly fizzy beer. There’s just no volume! The flavors are as weak as the palate. Watery caramel malts with just the slightest watery hints of floral hops. This is the ultimate chugging beer on the other hand, given the low carbonation and flavor. In a word, vapid.

Very weak nose that had a hint of light caramel that was a little "off". Extremely watery caramel maltiness, but generally inoffensive and harmless. Like the container a bit more than the contents.
