UPDATED: AUG 15, 2007 Not too bad. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt with a touch of caramel. Thin palate. Taste is decent. Lots of malt. Some sweetness in there, maybe the caramel. Slightly bitter finish.

Braudog (5025) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - JAN 5, 2013
Bottle. Pours more of a gold color than amber. Slightly funky "green bottle" nose, even though it didn’t come from a green bottle. DRinks with a bit of a corny taste, but is drinkable enough, cleanly made, and with a crisp finish. (#4888, 1/4/2013)

reebtogi (3262) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - DEC 27, 2012
355ml bottle (4.5%ABV version) pours a pale amber color with a finger of white head that settles down to leave some spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is caramel with hints of grass. Taste is a caramel malty sweetness with a light grassy hop bitterness. Leans a little more to the sweet side with a light body and modest carbonation. Nothing special and certainly not recommended.

(bottle) light amber. Slightly sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, hints of honey.

Bottle. Disappointing! Very sweet, grainy, corny, with a sticky aftertaste. Reminds me of an N/A beer, which at least you know what you are getting into when you have one of those. This one though I’ll pass on. 5 more to go in the fridge, uh oh....

Enriquez (7) - Riverside, California, USA - MAY 15, 2012 does not count
Earthy slight sweet flavor, burnt caramel color with a light and very thin head, very bubbly but yet creamy smooth after taste. This Ale taste good both cold and room temp. When this Ale is consumed at room temperature it becomes very creamy.

simple beer. Looks great when poured. This is a super easy beer to drink. lightly malted and creamy

Barreras (608) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - APR 27, 2012
Pours a yellow color with a hint of copper mixed in. Aroma was minimal of some sweetness and bread. Taste was not complex, almost too simple. A refreshing beer, that is easy drinking but not something I’d clamor for.

blackmurder (226) - sadf, Hawaii, USA - APR 19, 2012
This is one of my least favorite beers of all time. The taste is sickeningly sweet and artificial tasting. I can’t comment much, maybe I had a bad batch but I am not a fan so far. The only thing I can comment on is the appearance which is pleasant. A nice honey amber color with bits of red and a medium head.

DrnkMcDermott (2621) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - OCT 8, 2011
12 oz. bottle. Loose single from my local Jewel. Light amber color, no haze, thin layer of foam on top. Slightly bready amber malt smell. As with some malt-forward beers, taste has a bit pf phenol, or medicinal alcoholic note. Sweet and sticky, though. There are some possibilities for this, but too many detractions. Possibly some adjunct, too.

jrallen34 (3463) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 22, 2011
I drank this from a bottle into a chalice. This beer pours a dark clear gold with a white head, slighty carbonated. Smells light citrus with strong hops. This beer has a complex palate as it starts light, rough in the middle and a very soft finish of flavor, but overall a very common boring flavor.
