Easy to drink, nutty with some maltiness. The palate is overly watery for me and that along with a somewhat bland flavor mkae this beer mediocre

Doesn’t stand out or distinguish itself in any way. Just a beer to drink when the only other things available are the "Great American Pissy Tasting Lager".

Medium brown color with a short-lived head. Sweet, slightly malty nose with a similar crisp taste.

Deep but clean brown color with a small dissipating off white head that reduces to a film. Hard to describe the nose, bland with a sweet nuttiness. Taste is sweet brown ale almost like tea with unnoticeable hops. Good drinkable beer found in even the worst of beer wastelands.

The fact that this beer comes in a clear bottle says something in its own right (not a good thing). More flavorful thatnthe macrobrews and a decent alternative when options are limited. Thin mouthfeel with mild nut flavors. Pretty light.

Aroma is poor. Looks amber/brown with very little head. The flavor is weak but the palate is strong and makes the financial castle. Its a wet brown full of subtle nuts like almond and a touch of hazel. Its quenching and impacting, but just barely touches the better browns.
