Light amber gold with a perceptibly sweet aroma. Slight metallic taste at first, followed with a hint of fruit, lots of hops, bitter malt, and wheat. Well carbonated. Slightly sour and bitter, not a very good balance between flavors.

Murky copper color with no head. Aroma of... umm... air? Just a little malt taste with some hint of yeast. No bitterness. Surprisingly full body despite not really having anything in it. Eh, hard to complain.

Good amber color with solid head. Nice aroma with slight hop to it. Heavy on the carbination, with a little roasted sweet malt. A little watery on the finish with slight bitterness to it.

on tap at the hilton poolside bar in Orlando, with a nice cool breeze and sunny skies. thank God spring is here. clear copper color, short quick light tan head. slight caramel malt nose, some faint hop too. lots of carbonation. mild sweet malt and hop flavor. good poolside beer while watching the scenery.

Bottle. Fruity malt aroma. Reddish orange and amber color with small head. Sweet fruity (mixture of peach, orange and berry) malt flavor with a pecan finish - light hops. Not too strong and pretty fruity. Nice middle of the road beer.

From a bottle I brought home with me from North Miami Beach recently. Poured with an off-white to tan head and no lace. Aroma is at first dark ripe fruits, apricots, and a hint of cherry along with a bit of malt and hops. Shortly after that the aroma is strongly caramel malt. Flavor is similar but more pronounced malt and bittering hops. Body’s not bad, perhaps a tad over carbonated. Ok beer. Forgetable finish. Could do worse. One of the best beers I’ve had from down there so far.

not a lot going on with this beer it was ok but did not impress me.light and a little hoppy but nothing special not much flavor

12oz bottle. Pours beautiful bronze colour, with thin white foam head. A little hop in the aroma. Taste is very malty, almost reminds me of bourbon, bread with notes of citrusy hops. Finishes with a slightly hoppy bitterness, I think it could use a little more. A decent brew compared with the other Key West products. Might buy again.

Had this one draught. Amber in color with a white head, this looked nice in the glass. Aroma and flavor were both very mild, with the sweet malts standing out the most. No major flaws, but wouldn’t run out to find this one.
