Drat at Bahama Breeze. pours amber, lasting white head. Don’t be fooled by the extravagant made up story of some explorer trying to find the finest of ingredients to bring back the taste of the islands. This is just another Bud product from their specialty dept, which makes you wonder what the non specialty dept produces.. Grainy, one dimensional, caramel malts. Drinkable and a lot better than bud’s piss products.

Red pour. light white head. Light malts. Didn’t do much for me, fairly inoffensive.

Red color with wispy white head. Tast is non-distinctive, but smooth. Finish is extremely ho-hum. This is a decent beer with food, which is great at Bahamas breeze. But, ask about taking home a growler because with out the great food and the wicked atmosphere, this beer is only a small step above Budweiser.

On tap at Bahama Breeze. Aroma was very weak. Some dark roasted malt but very faint. Pour was a nice deep amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was bland and heavily carbonated. Not much flavor came through the carbonation except a little roasted malt. A good easy to drink beer to have during dinner but as far as craft beer goes, not very good.

Appearance: Red-amber body with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Highly effervescent. Why so gosh-darned fizzy, Aruba Red? Smell: Unimpressive, mild aroma smelling of toasted grains. Taste: Lightly toasted maltiness with a fair amount of sweetness. Very faint spicy hops with an almost imperceptible bitterness. Finishes with a lingering taste of shabby, flabby grains. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Fizzy, biting carbonation. Too fizzy, in fact, this thing is like a beer-flavored soda. Drinkability: Overall, it’s a bit reminiscient of Killian’s. Easy drinking, but the high level of carbonation leaves you belching into tomorrow. Come to Bahama Breeze for the food, not for the beer.

Draft @ Bahama Breeze - sweet malty toastiness boring bland and has no finish. Nothing bad but nothing exciting. Easy to drink and goes with pretty much everything on the menu.

Ok so I had no idea that this was a AB product...but even without knowing it I haven’t really thought much of it the few times I have had it at Bahama Breeze in Sunrise, FL. Amber color pour with a malty and boring aroma. The flavor is even more boring thant he aroma. Kind of sweet wtih malt tones and very little hops. Skip it please!

ln a place where all of the tap handles are Macros, you just know that this beer has to suck ass. Served in a 2Ooz glass. Pours a clear, amber color. Egg-shell colored, creamy head. Aroma has a light caramel, toffee notes. The flavor is quite impressive. Rich deep caramel malt character. Surprisingly flavorfull. Calming hop bitterness creates the perfect balance to this refreshing brew. Sticky sweetness and hop flavors linger on the palate. Why can’t the other A-B beers be so rewarding. Damn, I really enjoyed this beer. Cheers. 4,4,8,5,15
