Light amber color with a beige head. Has a malt and caramel aroma and flavor. But there is some off flavors too.

This is an amber lager, not an ale. It’s okay, but not up to the standards of Abita’s Bock or Turbo Dog, and also not as good as the nearby Acadian brewery’s Vienna Amber.

Clear copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel and some floral hops. Flavor has notes of caramel, toffee, some toastiness and a minor hop presence. Not that sweet, not that bitter. Has an unpleasant metallic tinge in the finish. Medium body, smooth texture and lively carbonation.

Not bad-looking in the glass. Pours with an inch of off-white head, which diminishes rapidly. Clear and amber in color. Aromas are, yes, light and bready. The malts show through a bit on the aroma and the taste. There is no real hop bite to the beer and little complexity. Lots of water. Very drinkable stuff, however. A nice summer companion.

Faint aroma of sweet malts. Drank straight from the 12oz. bottle. Had this right after a Rogue Red Ale, and of course this was a lot lighter and milder and didn’t stand up well in comparison. I Should have had this one first. Slightly sour malt flavor. Very faint hops. Clean and refreshing but rather weak and bland. At least its drinkable.
