SamGamgee (2451) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - APR 26, 2008
12oz bottle. Honey color with a small head. Fruitt and sweet aroma with no hops. The flavor is a likewise fruity and sweet with light bitterness and hop flavor. Some alcohol. Light tea flavor. Pretty boring, and the sweetness gets to you. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Slightly sticky. Somehow, this reminded me of a fuller Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with all the hops and character sucked out of it. Drinkable, but not really worth the effort.

kennydiaz (288) - staten island, New York, USA - APR 7, 2008
A MILD TASTING AMBER ALE. ITS OK CONSIDERING THE $ 5.99 PRICE TAG. I WOULD NOT GO OUT OF MY WAY TO FIND IT.

decaturstevo (3387) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - FEB 16, 2008
A deep golden pour with a fizzy white head. Light malt on the nose and almost corn with a hint of hops. Malty, starts semi sweet and goes to a light bittter dry finish no bad after tastes. A bit fizzy. Pretty clean dry drinker.

Optigon (562) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - FEB 4, 2008
Pours clear, with a minor, fine head. Aroma is sweet and mildly fruity. A bit of wheat and yeast in there as well. Pretty heavy mouth feel. Flavor is kind of fruity, some apple, wheat, a bit of an alcohol burn, but nothing awful. There’s a strong bitter aftertaste that I can live without. Though, overall, it’s not -bad-, but it’s not great either.

anthlovesbeer (67) - north grafton, Massachusetts, USA - JAN 30, 2008
First taste: a Budweiser and Miller High Life union with a spiked alcohol content (7.2%). A slight sticky and overly sweetness feel throughout. A strong cider taste; both apple and pineapple detected. Slightly chalky, yet crisp and refreshing.
