tap at the brewery/casino - Pours yellow with a thin white head. It has a very faint grainy malt aroma. The flavor is sweet, grainy malt and... what the hell... licorice? A pale lager should not taste like licorice. Were they running Jaegermeister through their lines previously? It’s an odd beer and doesn’t work. $1.50 a pint now.

Draught at the casino. No real aroma or flavour. Watery and rather un-interesting. Strangely sweet almost caramel notes.

Tap at brewpub. Medium golden in color. Light grainy aroma. Flavor is sweet and ricey. Quite odd reminds me of a sake.

This was the last beer to try in this curious little ashtray off the strip. I didn’t get the ABV, and I don’t see it listed here, but I half wonder whether this may have been a malt liquor. It came across as harsh and overly sweet with a corn-syrup flavour. Honestly, I lef tthe rest of this pint sitting unfinished by the stout. I’m tired of hearing everyone say "Well you can’t beat it for $1 per pint!". Oh yeah? I’ll sell you a pint of my piss for 50 cents! What a steal!
