mabel (1673), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 11, 2007 [106-20061118] Tap @ Point Brugge (Pittsburgh, PA). Aroma has notes of bubblegum mixed with something deep and slightly musty. Clear, red amber body with a few tiny central bubbles and a quick white head. Light yeasty, beery, forgettable flavour. Medium body, slightly astringent but comes together in the aftertaste, which is long. Like the aftertaste’s resolution, the rest was kind of muddled.
larsga (2319), Oslo, Norway Oct 5, 2008 Big offwhite lasting head leaves coarse lacing. Reddish amber body. Roasty caramelly aroma with perfumy notes. Dry-sweet dense caramelly malty roasty taste with fruity notes. Sharpish mouthfeel, dense palate. Dry fruity spicy aftertaste with notes of harmonically mixed toffee and grapefruit. Nice, but not major. (0.355l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.) NDbeerdrinker (60), North Carolina, USA Oct 4, 2008 Pours a light amber color with a thin white head. Aroma isn’t strong and doesn’t offer much. Taste is honestly similar to Keystone. Nothing special here. nqualls (422), Tennessee, USA Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear amber/gold color with a creamy off white head. Aroma of caramel malt and some slight hops. Flavor of herbal hops and a clean mild bitter finish.

Refreshing beer, clean. Nice hop character with malt balance. Oscbert (267), Sacramento, California, USA Sep 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 7, 2008~Pours a clear light amber color with nice looking creamy white head.
~Sour straw cheap macro lager scent, perhaps slightly better.
~Taste is definitely better than the scent. Kind of a woodsy oat taste with slight hop bitterness and an oat sweetness. Not bad but a bit harsh in finish.
~Soft feel, but harsh finish.
~I really don’t see anything special about this beer. I wont turn it down if offered to me, but most likely wont buy again.
