2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Meh - I felt like most of the beer at Alcatraz was pretty mediocre - this one was no exception. Golden color, thin head, tastes somewhat spicy, but mostly corny cheap grain. Little to distinguish this from the Golden Devil Hell Lager.

Draft at Anaheim location. Clear gold pour, white head. Malt, light grass, and some hops. Very drinkable, and very forgettable.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the Orange location. Pours with a clear golden body with minimal head retention. Aromas are lightly grainy and bready, with additional notes of grass and burnt hair. The beer tastes like malt flavored seltzer water. Very watery. No off flavors, but to be very honest their are few flavors period. Fizzy, watery and dry.

2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A: The color is a rather unimpressive pale golden color with a small white head.
S: The nose is similarly unimpressive with very little aroma coming from the glass. Maybe a hint of citrus.
T: A slight improvement with the flavor as there is at least some (sweet) malt and grain. Nearly Adjunct Lager in flavor.
M: Light in body with moderate carbonation.
D: If you’re into macro lagers, this one is for you. Disappointing, but not terribly surprising.

Draft. Golden beer with a whitish head. Mineral and light malt aroma. Mineral and light citrus flavor with light malt and some breadiness. Medium bodied. Breadiness lingers with light mineral and light citrus.
