2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
middle of the row amber ale. Might buy if the price is right, but not a beer to drink for it’s great taste.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Appropriately named it appears for the amber color. Thin rapidly receding head.
Maltiness in the aroma is strong.
Distinct flavor, but not very powerful. Seems like a strong Budweiser. I’m not impressed.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Nice amber coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of malt, a bit of hops, some subtle spices and not much really anything else. Medium-bodied; Malty taste along with some subtle hops, but mostly a cardboardy taste that doesn’t sit well. Aftertaste is short and not so sweet...malt and some hop bitterness, but not much. Overall, definitely a beer worth passing up, but as it was the first time I’ve ever seen it, I wanted to try it at least. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at BevMo in San Diego (Caramel Mountain), California on 05-November-2006.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy red with large off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with malty and yeasty notes. Flavour likewise with a sweet finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with white head. Aroma malty, sweet and caramel. Taste malty and light hops with bitter finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good amber pour, decent head. Not overly powerful to smell, but has some interesting carmel, fruity malt qualities. Fairly well balanced, on the chewy side. Solid brew but not extremely noteworthy.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
I have to say that this beer is a little disappointing. It has a light color and a light white head. The disappointing thing is that the beer is also extremely light on flavor. The closest thing I can compare it to is a Michelob Ultra Amber. This beer is easy to drink, but doesn’t have a whole lot to offer in the flavor category.
