Medium bodied, small aroma. Nice malt character and easy to drink. Decent brew, maybe not the best price.

Fevernova (210) - Athens, Ohio, USA - NOV 16, 2009
12 oz Bottle -- Pours amber with a white head. The color is very bright and translucent. The malts don’t present any complexity, and are fairly one note. The aromas are pretty good though if a bit feint. Spicy, bitter finish, thin body.

Bottle. Free, while watching the game. Amber color. Not much here to get me going...kinda thin with a dry finish.

Good body to this amber beer. There is a nice malt base to a slightly spicy citrus flavor.

arminjewell (2444) - Parker, Colorado, USA - NOV 5, 2009
Clear orange/yellow appearance with a fairly full and balanced taste. Malty lager with a subtle hop finish, easy session beer but nothing special.

Muggus69 (854) - Newcastle, NSW, AUSTRALIA - NOV 5, 2009
Draught. Clean copper body, small white head. Light toffee aroma, background of stonefruit, bitter citrus and plum. Low carbonation, smooth texture, reasonably full bodied. Nice, if not a bit ordinary flavour; toffee, bitter orange, dark and stonefruits. Mildly bitter finish. Enjoyable, if not a bit generic.

slitcher (261) - Freeport, Illinois, USA - NOV 2, 2009
Pours a deep amber with a medium head. Aroma of sweet caramel and bread. Smooth malty flavor with just a hint of hops; I remember this beer having WAY more flavor years ago. Very thin body...nothing special, but drinkable.
