On tap. Why are people writing dissertations about this beer? If this was tasted blind I would say pale lager with some pumpernickel bready malt. Aroma of worchestershire sauce and some caramel. No lacing no retention. Bready finish.

Light red. Thin head. I didn't taste any richness or roasted flavors. Actually not much taste at all, except a little bitterness. Maybe more taste would have come out if it was not served ice cold in a plastic cup. I usually like Michelob products, but this one disappointed me.

jgb9348 (3371) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - OCT 3, 2003
Looks exactly like a Coca-Cola (pretty fitting tasting this in Atlanta) with absolutley no head. Malty aroma with a bit of caramel sweetness. Not filling, light-bodied; Sweet flavour...not too much in the taste. Overall, not as bad as I thought it would be, but nothing more. I had this beer on draught at a crummy bar in Atlanta, Georgia on 25-September-2003, but you can find it just about anywhere here in America.

Pailhead (3327) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - APR 8, 2006
On tap: Sugary caramel aroma. Nice transparent amber with a small white head. Flavor is very sugary with some caramel. Somewhat grassy hop finish. Better than anticipated, but a little too sugary sweet. You can definitely do worse.

Beerlando (3276) - Orlando, Florida, USA - JUN 26, 2007
Cola colored pour with little head. Tastes like cheap roasted malts with virtually no hops to balance it out. Not a pleasant beer. Syrupy body.

IrishBoy (3265) - Bakersfield, California, USA - SEP 5, 2006
Draft at Papa O’s Pizza; nose was malts with some caramel notes; amber with a medium beige head; sweet caramel malt flavor; could not really taste any hops!

Nice dark pour with ample head. Tasted a little more watery than I had expected or would have liked, but for it being what it is, I was quite pleased.
