2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 jbruner (149) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JUN 1, 2012
Pours a clear caramel-amber on tap with no real head or lacing. Aroma is like a pale lager, grain and corn malt, with a hint of roasted sweetness. Taste follows suit; easily drinkable and better than alternatives that places that would have this on tap offer.

Pours brown with thin white head. Aroma is light...caramel and roasted malts. Taste is on point with chocolate, caramel, and roasted malts all coming through very smoothly. Palate is thin. Drinkable and cheap.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Derek881 (729) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - MAY 20, 2012
The beer was poured from the bottle into a 4oz sampling glass. It had a copper-brown color with a lighter amber hue, an average-sized foamy white head with short retention, good lacing, and small cling. The aroma featured a touch of caramel with malt and bits of pine and earthy hops. Its taste was a mix of caramel malt with some grainy bitterness. It had a thin, lighter body with a low thickness and mouthfeel, and was a bit watery with low carbonation. Thank you to Eric and Siobhan for the tasting.

Had this on tap at a pizza place the other week, only non-pale lager they had. Dark with small light head. Light aroma of chocolate and caramel. Taste is pretty light also, some nuts, sweet with creamy finish. Not bad for a macrobrew I guess.

Draft @ Pinch. Pours a nut brown with minimal head. Aroma of roasty nuts and caramel. Taste is light sweet. Caramel and roasty nuts. Medium bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. It would be great for drinking outside on a hot day.

Pretty good for a macro-brew. Pours dark brown with a meduim tan head. Has a malty taste with a creamy, nutty finish. Better served in a glass than bottle.
