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.

Pours a clear amber with a small head. Aroma is slightly malty. Taste is very blah - light caramel malt and hops. Lacks character. Has somewhat of a crappy champagne-like aftertaste. Mouthfeel is thin. Boring, not recommended.

Deep amber with large rocky white head. Corn is apparent in nose. Sweet and corny with light hoppiness. Better than American Lagers but not by much.

Bottle. Smell is roigh-kinda smells like a truck stop bathroom that has been half assed cleaned. Pour is decent-a red/amber with a loose one finger off white head. Taste is not nearly as bad as the smell. There is a sharp candy caramel taste along with some malt notes. Caramel and malt absoultley dominate the taste. The sweetness is just a little too much. It’s hard to drink this with the clothespin on my nose. Honeslty, it smells to high hell.

I enjoyed Fischer’s bitter, but this is not nearly as good. Bottle opened with a slightly skunky aroma and some soap. Has a fairly light colored amber body with a huge off-white head. Lots of lacing. The taste is not as bad as the aroma. Has some vinegar and plastic. Coats your mouth and the funky taste lingers. This makes me think of having wax in my mouth. Steer clear of this one unless you want bottles for home brew.

I really enjoy this one for some reason. Pours clear and amber, hence the name, but I felt the appearance was lacking a bit, too clear. Kind of a sweet taste to this one but with an initial sour note. However, a mellow smoothness to the finish. Not too bad.
