pale orange color. smells like skunky ashtray and moldy skunked old food. crisp flavor but really nasty too, skunked bottle oxidized flavor along with a pale grainy flavor that dulls the palate.

Had on a plane on a flight to Europe. Fruity esters, slightly grassy hops, some hay and some sweetness. Pours with a creamy, white head that reverts to a film atop the yellow hued body. Suprisingly nice lacing. Taste is american macro style: not much aftertaste. A little fruit but mainly water. Some hay malts. Fizzy carbonation, but creamy. I have always liked 1664, brings back good memories.

Golden color, light weak hoppy aroma and taste, light watery body, watery finish.

yellow malt and fizzy carbonation, replacement for ginger ale. Hey, carbs but less calories and more food value. Comparable to Moosehead.

Gold color with aroma of some malt, hops, big thiols, some funky esters. Tastes and finishes with a mixed bag of craptacular elements. Utterly forgettable, either in 1664 or the present.

Bottled. Poured crystal-clear bright golden with a sticky white head. The aroma picked up mild skunk and toasty pale malts with airy, aspartame-like highlights. The flavor found pale malts and a bit of corn at the core.. dry bitterness surrounded along with a touch of malty sourness.. more of the artificial sweetener on the finish. Light-bodied and crisp on the palate (for the most part), but it got caught up with tackiness a couple times.. carbonation was high and tangy.. OK stuff.

on tap and bottled. Pale yellow colour, medium-sized head. Hoppy and malty, well-drinkable but quite boring. lacks its own character.

There is one thing going for this beer, and thats the glass it comes in and the stupidly big tap looks good. Its just another lager could be tennents could be stella i wouldnt know its all just nonsence.
