Poured an amber color. Caramel aromas and malt. Light sweetness, light bitterness. Watery. Slicker texture. Easy to drink, pretty smooth. Just a little too thin on taste.

Aroma is of malt and spice. The flavor is malty and very clean with a slightly thin palate. Not nasty but needs more flavor.

ttoadee (47) - Texas, USA - DEC 7, 2011
Has a toasty malt aroma, clear amber-orange color, rocky white head, and hay like malt flavor (fresh). This beer carries a medium sweetness with very mild dry hop bitterness. A medium oily texture coats the tongue.

Poured from a bottle at Wing Central in U-district. Aroma...well...I can’t really smell any unfortunately. It’s still better than smelling cheap hard alcohol, or skunky main stream lagers, but there’s nothing good about it for sure. Appearance is just as boring. Dark orange to amber with no head to speak of. Hazy. Taste was bland. It’s not a BMC but I don’t think it’s a craft beer either. The only flavor that I think I can pick out is the faintest hint of caramel. Palate might be the acceptable quality of this beer, mainly because it is carbonated and drinkable. Overall not something I would ever plan on picking up again. There’s no flavor to it, and no other redeeming qualities. It’s just a lost cause.

Draft in a pint - pours caramel with light tab head with some lacing. Aroma is smoked malts, hops and that’s about it. Taste is light sweetness and a slightly stronger bitterness. Light body. Watery texture. Unimpressed.

Malty and sweet - a little too sweet. That’s really my only complaint. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel for a vienna too.

355ml bottle poured a pale amber color with a modest white head and some traces of lacing. Aromas of caramel and hops. Taste is light malty sweetness and a light hoppy bitterness. Light to medium body and moderate carbonation. An average amber ale.

Duhast500 (362) - Exile In Medford, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 18, 2011
Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a Blue Hills Brewery pint glass. The color is a clear orange/gold with a finger foamy white head and some slight lacing left on the glass. The smell has a light fruity aroma that is a little apple and some pear. There is a slight hint of a boozy aroma in the nose as well. The taste has more of a pear flavor with some juicy apple core flavor as well. There is a slightly bland flavor like the skin of the apple here as well with a sweetness that is pleasant. This beer has a nice drinkable feel and goes down easy. There is a nice juicy feel that goes down easy.
