Pours a clear amber with a thin creme head. Nose is barely roasted. Flavor is about like a standard american lager. Very mild earthy tones that almost tastes a bit dirty. Overall this is an okay beer. Easy to drink, but nothing to seek out for any wild character.

12 ounce bottle purchased from BevMo in Vacaville. The 6-pack was on sale for a mere $2.99. Aroma has lots of cereal grains and toasted maltiness. Light biscuit aromas. A little nuttiness with a light honey-like sweetness. No hops detected. Transparent orange-twinged golden color with a small-medium off-white head. Scant lacing. Starts with lightly toasted malts, hints of cereal-like grains. Finishes with mild spicy, metallic, grassy hope bitterness. Light-bodied. Bland and painfully boring. A stupid gimmicky beer. Up there with Funny Cide Light Lager.

Beer smells a little macro’y. The pour is clear little darker than a bud, with sudsy head. The flavor on this is more lager than pale ale. I’m not going to say the beer is awful. Not something I would buy again. There is some flavor, roasty malt, but not really anything I’m too fond of. I can taste some hops so i guess that puts it above macro brew. Sale at bevmo, thank god I didn’t pay full for it! Don’t really know what I was expecting for something that says "beer of the champions" brewed and bottled by MBF CO. I guess I could get down with this watching a fight in vegas or something....

This copper ale poured with almost no head. The flavor is very thin with initial maltiness and slightly bitter finish - otherwise unremarkable.

Bottle from BevMo. Dark golden in color upon pouring. Very bready aroma. Some roasted malts and caramel along with a little hint of hops. Very dry caramel maltiness dominates. Some hops in the finish. Kind of interesting, but more of a cheap pale ale.
