Jun 2, 2008 This beer poured an amber body with a distinct caramel malts aroma. Very little head and very little lacing. smooth, light body with a soft touch of hops.

May 31, 2008 There’s nothing offensive about this beer, so they must have decent quality control at the brewery. BUT, it’s bland as heck, even after letting it "warm up." There’s nothing that stands out about it at all. It’s certainly a beer I could drink all day, which is appropriate for the style, but c’mon... If it was like $6 for a six pack it would be a go-to "dumb" beer, but it’s not worth the $8.99 I paid. It tries to be like Bass (which would be a much better choice), but ends up tasting like a high-quality Miller Lite.

May 31, 2008 A very smooth drink with sweet malt and a hint of honey. Not too hoppy, and a very clean finish.

May 31, 2008 Updated: Nov 19, 2009Hazy amber with fair, creamy beige head / Nose of malt, citrus, and brown sugar / Light to medium body, a touch of sweetness, with substantial malts and dry hops imparting some heft and creaminess to the body and dry finish / Flavors of sour malt, grapefruit, brown sugar, toast, and dry hops / Very nice. A session beer if there ever was one.

May 30, 2008 Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours an attractive copper colour with decent US aromas. The taste doesn’t quite live up to the nose, falling quite flat in the middle. However a satisfyingly long medium bitter finish lifts the score, and the slightly stale bready malt character is evident in both the aroma and taste. Very drinkable stuff.

May 30, 2008 Wow. What a simply average beer. It’s not bad, it’s just that it’s not that good.
Amber with a small head that goes away quickly, decent aroma with some floral bittering hops. Flavor is typical ESB -- better by far than Redhook, but still not great. Admittedly, I might have had an oxidized bottle as it’s got a hint of bandaid. I’ll revisit this if I get a better one later. But I gotta say, I’m far from impressed.

May 28, 2008 Bottle, Kegs & Barrels, McKinney, TX.
Pours a deep clear amber, off-white head with good retention, slight lacing on glass....Aroma has a slight burst of hoppy grapefruit and dark fruit, malt. Flavor is light sweet, nice non-overpowering hoppy grapefruit, malt, with very slight bitter in the end. Palate is medium carbonation, medium mouthfeel.......pretty good stuff!!!!

May 28, 2008 Now these folks know how to brew a bitter. First sip and I thought I was back in the Midlands holding a real pint of beer. Great balance between the hops and malt that cleanses the palate on every sip. Great deep bronze color and tan head that laces to the bottom. I’ll keep some of this around. I’d love to find it on tap somewhere in Nashville.
