Love the Retro can.... if you like beer and don’t worry about image...this is th beer for you.

This is really such an awesome beer that I would drink it year round if it became available. A treat to have and a great price as well.

Sweet can. I love the old school can as well as the $6.45 price tag for a 12 pack. This brew poured wonderful reddish amber, with an off white head. The head is frothy and leaves good lacing on the glass. The aroma is of light malts and straw, adjusted with corn or rice. Also there is just a hint of caramel. The taste is sweet and malty, bready and pretzel like. Hops are almost a nonfactor. The palate is medium bodied creamy and smooth. Finish is short and sweet. Overall not outstanding but a good beer at a great price.

Not a fancy discovery, but rather a nice allround beer. The foam is not its strongest point (tends to overflow, and then quickly vanish), but other parameters are rather decent. I purchased it at the local store, revolted as my favorite was sold-out, and found it a decent substitute. A true bargain -especially considering the price.

12 ounce can - $2.75 at Taco Mac in Woodstock, Georgia. Appearance: From the retro-type can it pours a clear, amber-brown body with a finger of beige-hued suds. Smell: Gently sweetish on the nose, with basic, simple notes of toast, light caramel, and light brown sugar. Taste: A taste of toast, a soothing sugared sweetness and a tiny, tiny pinch of cocoa. Light indistinct fruitiness. Mild, lightly earthy hops with a low, subdued bitterness to it, so the sweetness remains until the crisp finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-plus carbonation. Overall: Milder and gentler than most, but gains a boosted drinkability from the lower level of alcohol and the crisper-than-most level of carbonation. And it’s cheap. If I’m paying only $2.75 at a restaurant, a six’er of the stuff in stores should be pretty reasonable.

I rated a little higher because you can sit here and say that this beer doesn’t taste like a good bock. It’s more like Bock Light, but still to have a slight craft taste and not be offensive at 7 bucks a 12 pack! Come on dude, this beer is a definite go to for the craft beer drinker on a budget, or if just going to a party and feeling like throwing some back without having to go toward Keystone or Natural Ice. I recommend this beer for the craft drinker that wants to play beer pong or keg stand 100% Cheers

A fine "lawn-mower" redition of the type.... a nit too wimpy for me, but the enhanced malt and caramel (malt) tastye is there for me.

good malty grog. refreshing well carbonated with a working mans mouthfeel that is fairly rich with a wave of wash and foam. good flavors and priced nice and affordable. darkly sweet and a good beer to sit down and knock away a few. i have drank many. and i recommend it to you.
