UPDATED: AUG 8, 2010 Pours an off brown with no head. It has a very cidery aroma. The taste is of sweet malt with a hint of bitter fruit. It had a really astringent, cidery taste that was off-putting, but was mildly drinkable. Tasted like store-brand Newcastle; my mother liked it.

on tap, golden amber color with good tan foam, aroma and flavor are nutty caramel, not bad

similar to newcastle ale,not a whole lot of flavor.brown in color,malty up front not much bitterness,smooth beer.they only have this or bud light.this is better than bud.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2004 One wheat-i-licious gulp made me think, "Gee, I’m glad Memphis is my home." A nice-looking beer, with a cream-colored head, Corky’s Memphis Brew has a creamy palate, fully filling your mouth with wheaty happiness. A slightly smoky aftertaste is not bad at all. This beer is nice, and I recommend it to have with Corky’s wonderful ribs. Man...I like this beer...and I LOVE Memphis.

Is this the old Memphis Goldcrest beer? Not much to it and very unimpressive but went great with those delicious wet ribs.

Very similar to Abita Amber. The head is a little peachy colored, though. Grainy, slightly metallic and mildly caramel.
