Mild hop and tea nose. Soft and floral palate with a slight touch of ripe fruit. Strange acidic finish.

From a six pack puirchased at local COOP. After the first bottle I realized I have five more bottles that I would have pawn off on someone else who thinks Budweiser is a good beer. Poured nice attractive gold color but things went downhill from there. Nose kind of moldy, with a faint hop odor and not much else. Mouthfeel was not notable, and flavor was somewhat sweet with a slightly bitter finish that was just plain odd tasting. To be hoiest I had trouble with this one, and just have to say it was not something I would buy again.

Almost grassy aroma for hop, not really citrus. Amber gold color, and the head disappeared rapidly. I can’t even assign anything to the start, but the finish was a spritely hop bitterness. Astringent finish. Damn refreshing. Not much for a hop head, but good. Beats the s--- out of Budweiser.

This has got to be one of the most unsuitably boring beers that I have ever tried. Musty grassy hop aroma that is very light and faint with just the slightest sweet cereal malt flavor. Very bland.

good golden color,small white head that faded slowly leaving little behind.The aroma was fruity with a slight malt appearance and some faint hops but there hard to pin down.The flavor was sweet fruit and mild malt with a hint of hops towards the end.Not a real eventful brew but it does have a certain thirst quenching quality if you can get past some of the sweetness that is going on in the brew.It’s worth trying again ---Maybe.
