Frank (1966) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 4, 2003
Diminishing head. Orange amber color. Malty aroma with some oxidized notes. Creamy mouthfeel with a sharpness from the carbonation. Malt dominates. A little more hops would be nice.

JK (3400) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - FEB 2, 2003
Poured amber. Lots of carbonation. Head didn't last long. A little sour. Tasted more like a lager than an ale.

bender (293) - Reynoldsburg, Ohio, USA - FEB 1, 2003
Poured a fizzy golden color. White head that diminshed quickly. No lacing.
Smell slightly papery and yeasty.
Tastes papery with an oxidized, acrid hop bite. This stuff is past it's prime.
Carbonation was okay.
Old, mis-treated bottle.

1/31/03: bottle. thick, off- white rocky head, with a bit of lacing. yeasty smell. medium orange body. hoppy taste. nothing special. tastes more like a budweiser than an amber (my bottle label noted this as an amber beer.)

Has a hint of fruit in it, and is a bit bitter, but not too bitter. It has a good finish to it. I enjoyed this beer.
