This is under rated. Not sure about those of you that said it poured a "clear gold". Mine poured a thick golden copper color with an off-white cream head. Very lovely. Aroma of overly sweet caramel and overly ripe fruit. Abundant presence of hops, light presence of malt. Decent bitter after-taste. I remember seeing this while on a tour of the Minnesota Brewing Company in Saint Paul about 10 years ago. Not sure how it ended up with Minhas. Anyone know the alcohol content? I paid $7.49 for a 12 pack. Worth every cent!

got it in a mystery box @ the bevMo. Not really any complaints. The nose is pleasurable. I wouldn't consider it to be a lager tho. Much more burnt orange like an ale and actually quite thick with fine particles. Don't be frieghtend by the tin can.

While this beer may not stand up compared to ’quality’ beers, compared to other beers in it’s price category, it’s great. I typically pay $5 or $6 for a 12 pack. It also comes in the most unique can I’ve ever seen. Not willing to risk a whole $5 or $6 to sample it? Then pay $2.50, pick up a 6 pack, invite some friends over and try it out.

This beer is not perfect. This beer is .50/can though. Frankly, a lot can be forgiven at that price and to compare this to other quality beer at $1.00/bottle or more is a bit unfair. Anyway, I like it. It certainly beats most everything in its class that I can think of. By the way, the sales at ridiculously low prices were promotional, attempting to buy market share. Honestly, everyone I know that’s given this beer a try has been impressed by the taste for the money.

Can. Pours a hazy orange color with a small head. Grassy notes with a hint of malt. Dry taste with some grassy malt notes. Pretty decent for a can. I really liked this.

This seems okay with a pretty flavorful initial taste. Enjoy the sweetness, but I wish there was more bite.

For the price, a surprisingly rich brew typical of most Huber products. REminiscent of the first Augsburger I had in 1977.

Picked up a single orange 12-oz can at Warehouse Liquors in Duluth, MN. Pours a clear golden pale amber brew with a thick, creamy off-white head that has some spotty lacing and decent white ring. Aroma of multi-grain malt, some grassy hops, a touch of corn grits, and some fruity character. taste is light to medium bodied, quite smooth, with flavors of multi-grain malt and flowery hops. Finish is semi-sweet with a thin malty grain aftertaste. Actually this is much smoother than most macro-brewed beverages I’ve tried.
