Slightly better than drinking pool water, this one doesn’t offer much. And like a politician, it doesn’t deliver on any of its promises. Vote this one out of office.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of maniac. Thanks for the beer and the dire warnings regarding said beer. Pours a slightly hazy reddish copper color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is nutty with big caramel notes. Very malty taste with lots of nutty grainy notes and faint leafy hop and tea like notes. Subtle raisin as well. Medium bodied. Could stand to have a bit more complexity but not all that bad.

Poured light amber with zero head...smelled interestingly malty...tasted like glue...Krogers $4.99 for a sixer...yuck...

Bright amber body and rapidly vanishing off-white head. Aroma of cheap ice tea made from powder, stale malts, old lemons, and a hint of cloves. Lightly fruity malt flavor with some thin caramel and spice. Quite sweet with little hop character and bitterness. Mouthfeel is thin and fizzy almost like club soda with some discernible body from the residual sugars. This is weak, lame, braindead beer. Fortunately this was a freebie and cost me nothing except a dull experience. I pitched half the bottle in favor of greener pastures in my fridge.

Pours a very light brownish sort of color. Aroma is malty with a slight hop presence. Some sweetness as well. Very thin on the palate. Some malty bitterness, but overall this beer is lacking in flavor. Not really bad, just really boring.

Bottle. Pours clear red gold with white head. There is some maltiness in the nose, but the aroma is very faint. The same goes for the flavor: faintly malty, but not much there. The finish is a little bit chalky. Bah. Nothing special here.

Pours amber with thin head. Has a malty aroma with mild fruit. Malty flavor with a slight grape taste. Not bad.

A decent amber appearance with a large white head. Its all downhill now. A very flat watery taste with a hint of either malt or some chemical poison. Im not dead yet. This is water with food coloring, what the fuck!
