UPDATED: FEB 2, 2007 had with ms coop at sudies...pours with small-medium head...some light lacing...smells like f’in copper!..smell is off putting!...goes down ok but seems to be on the level for most budweiser brews, needs massive improvement if it wants to be taken even half serious ..feb.1 ’07

12oz twist-off bottle. Medium brown color, with a rocky eggshell colored head. Aroma of toffee and spicy hops. Hints of corn. Flavor is a sweet toasted malt. Light lingering flavors of a hop bitterness. A bit too light bodied for me to enjoy. If the original gravity was a bit more bold, this would be a potential homerun. Until then, I wouldn’t, waste time drinking this again.

After multiple pitchers on draft at the local Video Saloon, I’d come to know this as light-bodied, having a grainy, husky caramel malt taste, cleaner than many and not something I’d mind repeating. Now from the bottle - nose is dusty, lightly grainy but now showing some bread and sweet caramel malt. Dark amber pour with a lightly lacing beige head. Taste reasonably try with just a touch of bitterness, aromatic character slowly creeping in. Too many Coke notes. Carbonation is weak (and worse - cheap) and the finish sours somewhat. Light body with a pinch of creaminess. One of the better macros available.

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!

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.

Weak malt, no hops, and a weird color. Watered down so much it could be used on the sidelines of a football game as a rehydration tool.

Bottle with a born on date of 21Aug06. Ivory small fizzy head that mostly diminished, virtually no lacing, fast rising carbonation, transparent, and an orange red hue. Nose was malty and sweet. Flavor was sweet, malty and somewhat rich tasting. Tingly, spritzy mouthfeel. Light body. Nothing special or great. Quaffable.

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.

Pours a nice medium amber color. Nice roast aromas with some hops. Flavor has a roast almost burnt grain flavor to it, finishes with a nice bitterness.

I feel dirty even thinking of rating this. Smells like Clydesdale ass. Doesnt hold head at all. Weird AB yeast flavor hits you in the face as the beer crosses the lips Doesn’t hold up to somewhat spicy Chinese food at all. The roastiness is soap-like. I feel like I need a shower.
