sebletitje (4011) - Enghien, BELGIUM - SEP 6, 2009
bottle. Pours orange, white head. Aroma keeps same profile has the other Key West beers. grassy notes with some malts. Flavor, light caramel malts, some sweetness, hops with a light bitter citrus finish.. Pale caramel malts, crisp palate with some yeasty notes. Probably my favorite of this serie.

TheBeerGod (3960) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - SEP 26, 2003
Pours a reddish brown with a medium tan head. Nose is malted but almost has a tartness about it. The taste is much better than the Pilsner Light. Sweetened malty notes along with a corn/rice body. It's not too bad, actually. Finishes with more of the tartness. I'm not sure if this was designed, because the bottle is still fresh, so I don't think it's an unfreshness side-effect. Decent nonetheless.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 19, 2005
Had on tap at Sunset Sam’s at the Gaylord Hotel in Orlando, Fl. Pours a dark golden with a decent frothy white head. Aroma has some fresh lake water accents with a hint of caramel. Flavor has some caramel, with but o a hoppy citrusy back end. Clean, smooth palate. Refreshing.

Suttree (3766) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 20, 2006
Orange, thin white head. Aroma is very faint, but mostly sweetish, maybe a bit toasty. Bready, toasty flavor. Not much bitterness at all. Rather watery and bland.

ChainGangGuy (3685) - Canton, Georgia, USA - SEP 9, 2007
Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey body with a thin, bubbly white head. Smell: Ultra faint musty grain aroma. Seriously, folks, there’s practically nothing in here. Taste: Simple, light grainy flavor. Hardly any sweetness and even less bitterness. The finish is slightly sour, but even that is all too fleeting. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Quite watery. Drinkability: Might be better served and more enjoyed in a sunny, oceanside apartment in Florida.

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - JAN 5, 2011
Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Lightly sweet aroma with some toasty notes. The flavor has some caramel sweetness, light toasty notes, and a hoppy hint. Solid.

Leighton (3598) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUN 27, 2010
Bottle. Not very good. Pours a light yellow gold with a faint white head. Weak aroma of sweet grains and citrus hops. Flavor is light, with mild caramel sweetness and little bitterness. Thin body with average carbonation.
