this is a great beer if you can find it. You need to talk to older cincinnati citizens. I found a guy who had a can in the back of his fridge. Great beer. they should really start making it again.

Just a step up from regular commercial brews. Sets up on the palate and makes you take notice. The black malts and six-row make their mark and are defined well. Refreshing on that finish and makes you want more.

blackmurder (191) - sadf, Hawaii, USA - JUL 20, 2006

Delicous lager. I wish this was the standard for lagers in America. Crips, clean refreshing palate with a mild hoppy taste and slight sour aftertaste. Very mild in flavor. The head quickly diminishes and you are left with a quality beer that is very cheap and refreshing. DRINK THIS BEER

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2005 Has clean taste without the sourness associated with Bud. Inexpensive and tasty, great ice cold.

mec3437 (53) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - MAY 28, 2004

I have to admit, it took me some time to get around to this beer. All in all it is not bad. The aroma is pleasant. It pours a golden yellow with a quickly disappearing head. The taste is ok, somewhat salty. Not bad. Paid $6 for 12 cans, so it wasn’t a ripoff.

I picked up a case of this and barely drank one. Gave the rest away to someone who gave it away again. Very disappointed in what is considered a local classic. It had no taste and too much carbonation.
