A: The pour is a clear light copper color with a small white head which leaves no lacing. S: The aroma is mostly sweet malt and grain with a touch of skunk that is reminiscent of a macro lager. T: The flavor is a bit better than the nose with some sweet malt, grain, and a touch of caramel. There might also have been a few hints of spice as well. M: The body is not as terribly thin as I was expecting. The carbonation is moderate. D: This is a beer that is drinkable in the "Bud Light" sense of the word. Not a beer I’d want to drink again, but it’s easy to put down.

I had this on tap at the brewpub in Orange, CA Clear golden color with a white head, this beer was smooth on the palate with a good dose of malty sweetness.

Tap @ the brewpub. Poured a clear deep golden color. Sweet and malty with a light spice. Light caramel notes. The flavor was of sweet caramel. The was some warmth from the alcohol. Medium bodied.
