2004 Autumn Brew Review: Amber Coloring. This one is Not One of Their Better Offerings...Pretty Bland and Watery Overall.

Autumn Brew Review 2004. Well, if the Pale Ale surprised me, this one didn’t. Amberish color with minimal head. Hints of hops and malts, but nothing really redeeming. Better than swill, but not great.

This cost $10 for a case. Pours a honey brown color. Head lasts a little while but not very long. Smells skunked and tastes skunked, as well. Avoid this one...

Can #3 of Thedm’s "6-pack Terrorist Attack" - "Where ya goin’ buddy?" "I’m goin’ to Brew City - Woooooo-Hooooo!!!!!! Light yellow, thin bodied and fizzy. A scarce amount of malt, no hops. Tastes like the can.

Poured a light golden yellow with a thin fizzy head. Standard American beer smell. Thin and watery. Better than any BMC product. For cheap swill it wasn’t that bad.

hotstuff (3213) - Indiana, USA - JUN 13, 2004
Can. Large sized white head and fine-medium sized bubbles that mostly diminished. Very little carbonation, transparent and a pale yellow hue. Malty, hoppy and musty aroma. Malt flavor. Smooth mouthfeel and light bodied with fair lacing.

thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - JUN 13, 2004
This canned brew poured a large sized head of fine to large sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body was a softly carbonated transparent orange color. The aroma was mildly malted and slightly off. The palate was smooth with a malty finish and a mild malt hop flavor that tasted a lot like their Light. I was expecting something slightly heavier than I got.

Slick (1971) - Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA - MAY 24, 2004
Light amber color,small white head that had a decent hantime then faded to a small lace.The aroma was lightly malty with a decent hop presence and a nice floral and spice hint as well.Nice light flavor of malt and fruit most likely lemon,with a mild amount of hops coming through to give a very faint bitterness at the end.Nothing great but decent enough to be an everyday swiller.Thanks to GrainbeltGuzzler for this brew.
