12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper-gold with a white head that quickly recedes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.

The aroma is pretty subdued - metallic malts, maybe a little vegetables. Some sweet sugary malts come out as it warms.

The flavor is sweet malts with some sugary candy with a bit of bitterness to finish. Sour mash comes out some as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.

Overall, a small step above macros - nothing too exciting.

12oz bottle from Keg N Bottle in Isla Vista. Ten bucks for a 24 pack, and definitely better than other offerings around this price. Amber with a plentiful white head. Sour and caramel aroma is a little odd and not too pleasing. The flavor is like a light lager with some caramel syrup poured in to make it sweet and a little cloying. No hops to pull that sweet sugar in line. Light and syrupy body that sticks to the back of your tongue. This is pretty bad, but much better than la crosse light.
