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.

Smelled and tasted like a watered down french table white wine. I did enjoy the bottle though.

Not my bag, baby. very flat and simple. Very light bodied starts out a little sweet but quickly fizzles into nothing. Not crazy about this beer at all.

Very effervescent amber colour with a thick dense off-white head. Very foul vegetable aroma with a bitter nuttiness. Medium to Light-bodied; Odd taste which tastes like coca-cola at first, then switches to a gross maltiness. Sweet caramel flavour, but doesn't work well with this one. Aftertaste shows a very odd flavour-not pleasing. Overall, the bad vegetable flavours and sweet tastes don't really fit and, and make it not refreshing at all. I bought this 12 ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

I, too, am a little suprised by the below average ratings of this beer. Its certainly not bad. Nice aroma, copper-golden in color, pours with a thick, sweet head. Everso slightly smoky; a bit sour, not really too bitter. A definite orange taste; like an orange peel toasting on a warm stovetop. Comes in a great, self-corking 22 ounce bottle which I saved and made salad dressing in. The beer in more filling than refreshing. Autumnal. A good food beer!

Did you know this comes in a swing top bottle? That it was on sale? Um, what else? It was stuck back in the back of the shelf out of the light where even a 6'+ me couldn't reach it without standing on something. Oh, the beer. Wasn't really worth the reach. Or it was a reach to call it beer? No, that's mean. Not that bad. Not that good either.

Very week pour with a small head. Not much of an aroma that I could pick up. Very smooth easy taste, but that's about it. A below average beer.

Dull amber color with a light beige head. Dry grain and wood aroma. Caramel and simple sugar flavors. Dry weak finish. Any favorable flavors are out of balance with the unfavorable.

Sweet, a bit of corn in the aroma. Sweet taste at first but quickly dries out to a papery-like taste. Nice amber color, though, with a thin white head.
