3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAY 20, 2009 If I could compared it to a more common brew, I would compare the taste to Heineken, though much less skunky and more flavor. Comes in pint bottles woohoo! Was on sale for $2.39 at the store so I gave it a shot. Not disappointed at all for the price. Nice clean tasting beer with just about the right amount of carbonation. The only real downside to this beer is that there is nothing really that stands out about it.
