I love this beer more then anything. The greatness starts with the pour and what I call the upside down waterfall. It then ends with creamy , sweet and bitter greatness all at once. Closest to perfect I can give.

Pours a gold color with a hint of amber. Creamy looking 1 finger white head that sticks around for a while. Very faint aroma. Not much detectable other than some biscuity sweet malt. Nothing really stands out in the flavor here, with sweet doughy malt, a touch of sweet fruit and floral hops, and maybe some almond/vanilla sweetness as well. Very understated, but not in a good way. Overly subtle and somewhat watery. Mouthfeel is, on the contrary, excellent. Extremely creamy and smooth, with good carbonation. Very very drinkable, but not flavorful enough to really entice me.

Pint can with the "wicket" or widget- cartridge. When poured into a glass it has a nice carbonation-bubles in action. Honey gold, white creamy head. This had a great creamy flavor light and clean. Had a bit of a bitter bite but very balanced and enjoyable.

Nice creamy and smooth taste. Not too over powering , has a nice taste and is a little sweet.

The pour is a clear dark straw color with ample head. The nose is quite subtle and hints at hops and slight malt. The flavor is mild and dry. Better than Bud, but not a world class beer by far.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, light amber body with a thick, creamy white head. Smell: Faint aroma of shaving lather and floral hops. Taste: Weak, almost non-existent malt character with a very faint honey-esque sweetness. Metallic hints. Mild bitterness that’s gone for the dry finish. Like water, it is! Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Somewhat watery. Drinkability: If you’re looking for an extreme taste sensation, then you’ll be sorely disappointed. If you’re looking for a relatively low-alcohol, smooth, easy-drinking beer, then this’ll do in a pinch. Unfortunately, I prefer the former.

Nothing special at all. The fact it comes in a draught can is cool but can’t make up for the complete lack of taste and sustenance. Had on tap a long time ago and liked more but still wouldn’t buy again.

Nice head, creamy smooth going down. Has a slightly sweet taste, more flavorful as it warms. Good summer beer.
