3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours amber with low white head.
Malty aromas and some citrusy tones. So far so good.
Taste is sweet, low bitterness and hoppy fresh. I like it.

I have a big soft spot for this one. This was my first foray into craft beer. It pours a nice amber with a good head. It’s got a great clean flavor without being overpowering in any respect. Has a light easy finish.

Far better on tap than bottle from the bottle. Don't know why, just is. Nothing stands out with this beer, just a solid great tasting beer. Proves that you don't need a niche over the top angle to beer a great beer.

Amber pour into a pint glass. Malty/bread-like aroma, kind of standard smell for a mid grade beer. Carbonated mouth feel but not a lot in the way of flavor. More body than a macro lager but still pretty watery. If i were to describe the flavor.....id say a bit malty, hints of carmel. Somewhat sour aftertaste.

poured from a bottle and drank from a standard pint glass. The beer pours a light amber color, and has a slight bread aroma with almost no noticeable hops in the nose. It has a rather generic flavor that does not particularly stand out in either a positive or a negative way. It has a medium body and a slight malt aftertaste. This seems like it could be a decent session beer that I would likely recommend to craft beer novices.

Cant believe this one escaped my ratings this long, and now Im entering in 3-yr old notes! Light amber color. Pretty much a typical amber with a solid malt backbone. Fairly sweet aroma.
Notes: Brewery visit during ’09 GABF
1.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 3/20
On draft in pint glass. A: very very faint of toffee and vanilla. App: gold with an amber hue; half a finger white head when arrived. T: slight grass, slight toffee, slight carmel, but mostly watery. Much like a miller lite with a few drops of a stout dropped in. P: very crisp bubbles, very nice feel, only good thing about this beer. One of the must over-rated beers in existence, today. Give me a Keystone light and I’ll be happier with that over this! Especially at the price point!

Years ago, this beer might have rated higher, but with the current crop of superior micro beers, this just does not cut it. Has a metal aftertaste, and just blah. I would not call this Belgium.

Whether you define it as cardboard, dog food, rotten, sour, dirty, or something else, I agree with the reviewers here who found this hard to describe, yet utterly undrinkable and gross all the same. There is a slight suggestion of caramel and toffee, but everything else is vomitous and doesn’t blend together AT. ALL. I bought a six-pack of this once and couldn’t even finish one *bottle*. Gag-worthy, disgusting, horrible brew. Can hardly believe the likes of this came from NBBC!

0.33l bottle shared with ClubGonzo and Inbreak. This is a light blurry honey-orange colored beer with a mild islandy bubbly and sidesticking just off-white head. OK! It has a mild fruity-berry and hoppy aroma with tones of both caramel something burned and a clear chlorine touch. Like in swimming pool chlorine mixed with dead skin cells. Not bad, that last part is just a bit ehh... different. It’s average carbonated and the texture is quite oily. Flavors are light fruity and hoppy, some caramel here as well, some sweetness from the malts and not much more actually. Drinkable but not to exciting. 18.04.2012
