This one reminded me alot of Killian's. It was better granted, but my experience with this establishment, is that they have a heavy watery taste in all their brews. Pours a deep amber hue and has a nice cloudy head, strong malty aroma with a taste that is clean and slightly bitter and you can barely taste the hops in the aftertaste. It has been awhile since I have had any of their beers, so I am a bit cloudy on the specifics.
