Dark amber; light, metallic; thin, faint caramel. Typical bland macrobrewer attempt at real beer.

Nice, deep, golden/ amber hue. Medium-sized, fizzy, khaki-colored head. Fully diminishing with no lacing. The aroma is slightly pungent with hints of caramel, milk chocolate and butterscotch. Very well balanced beer. Short blast of light caramel and malt up front. Moderately pungent with a buttery flavor on the backside. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Short, dry, finish. A decent beer to drink when your selection is limited and your cash stream is running low.

This clear amber lager has a nice creamy head, for about thirty seconds. The aroma is sweet, caramel and fresh grain. The taste isn’t bad, sweet, lightly toasted malts, but it’s quite thin, quite watery. Watery finish.

Dark copper color with a diminished off-white head. Toasted wheat bread aromas with just a touch of mold. Dry caramel flavors with a unclean middle and finish. A chocolate and caramel bar that has been lying around far to long. Long acidic bitterness in the linger. Too fizzy in d weak in body.

Head is initially small, fizzy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel, toasted bread). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, metallic. Acceptable if you like steel powder and carpet dust in your beer.
