Panzuriel (1065) - Westerville, Ohio, USA - MAR 31, 2003
Brown in color with a quickly disappearing head. Nice malt aroma. Somewhat weak and wimpy malt flavor that is disappointing. Finishes weakly.

Libeerian (209) - Garner, North Carolina, USA - MAR 9, 2003
Weak malt nose and light bodied, Miller's version of this famous brew is uncomplicated though refreshing. The subtle malt finish fades very quickly.

redlem (1203) - Ohio, USA - FEB 24, 2003
I just noticed what style this is listed as, "American Dark" and think that sums up this beer. It is malty and creamy, but it is watered down for the American palate. A grocery store beer.

Rockinout (966) - Kent, Ohio, USA - FEB 19, 2003
Translucent walnut color, hardly a head, faint coffee nose. Starts out with a promising malty roastiness but then it abruptly stops and gets thin and watery.

harlequinn (2745) - Tacoma, Washington, USA - JAN 22, 2003
I was very weary of this, but I actually enjoyed it. Goes down really smooth. Very meduim-bodied, malty and creamy at the finish, I could drink this again.

Frank (1966) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 16, 2003
Much better cold; the malt flavor is more appearant and some sour notes are hidden. Slightly-carmelly malt nose. A hint of roasted barley. Negligible head. Active carbonation. Reddish brown. Light to medium bodied. Front is a bit watery but the finish is malty and creamy.

Good malt profile throughout with medium body.

Much better than the original. Better malt and overall impression. Slight toastiness.
