COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A slightly roasted malt gives it a light amber color. The rich flavor dominates the malt/hops balance and is very popular among most beer drinkers.

Clear light amber color with a medium frothy white head. Sweet light caramel malt aroma. Malty caramel flavor, with some light bitterness in the end.

Can’t say there is anything special here. Started great with a great clear amber color with a moderate head. Aroma and taste were just like the average production beer. There is an Ale malt background flavor which makes this better than normal production beers. The palate feel was heaver than expected but that did not make up for the low flavor. Possibly a good beer when you have been out in the heat and need a cool brew. However, if you want a taste experience, this one is not for you

I can’t say that I really enjoyed the taste of the beer. It as okay to begin with, with a nice amber color and thickish white head, but it was a little sour and had too much of a caramel flavor to it.

This is really bad beer. The experience starts off pleasent enough with a nice amber pour topped by a well retained off white head. That’s the end of the good news. The aroma is sour and lactic and let you know that the taste is going to be unpleasent. A sip confirms this as the initial flavor is bad sour with a small amount of caramel malt in the background. The off sour flavor is disturbing. Still, I will take this over Hurricane High Gravity any day.

I raelly enjoy these types of beers after a hard day of work. It has a nice brownish amber color and a medium head that hands around for a min. It was real smooth and refreshing with a nice mild bitter taste, good thrist quenching beer. Like I said, I enjoy these types of beer after work because it’s refreshing and smooth and won’t bombard me with flavor.

Nothing special here. Nice colour...amber and clear, with a white dissipating head. A bit of a yeasty smell and indistinctive taste. Overall an inoffensive amber ale.

Grainy lager-like nose, nice amber color, with a tiny white head, malty caramelly flavor with a tiny bit of hops in the finish.

Very surprised to find a new restaurant in my neighborhood stocking these and several other unusual beers. Weak and watered-down, but with this beer and it’s slightly off flavors, that’s a good thing. Weak tea- type amber pour, with a very slight caramel nose. Some musty caramel flavor, that I kept wishing would go away, but never did.! Somewhere out there I KNOW there is a decent French beer!

Weak head, not exactly amber in color and very thin/watery mouthfeel. Not good and won’t buy again.
