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

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.

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