12 oz bottle. Pours a brassy color with white head. The aroma is very nondescript... some wood, grain, little bits of lemon and caramel. The flavor is sweet light caramel, and not much else. This is very bland and boring, but there isn’t really anything overtly offensive like I was expecting. Hrm.

Bottle from a local Save Mart. Pours light amber with a foamy off-white head. Aroma reminds of a sweet pale lager. Near med body with foamy carb. Flavor is present - a little carmel, less hop. Craft beer imitation/rip off.

12 oz. Big spicy candy and grainy caramel corn nose. Copper and clear with a lasting disk of cream. Flavor is overly sweet caramel corn and dusty grain. Light-medium body is sweet and smoothish. Ugh. Glad I was able to get this one as a single.

Bottle from Meijer in Ludington , MI. Poured clear amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with frair lacing. Moderate grainy malt aroma. Medium body with thin smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a light to medium sweet finish of short to moderate duration. Soft sweet brew.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Light amber brew with a white head that immediately dissapates. Light grainy aroma. Flavor is sweet with very little hoppiness - not a malty sweet but just sweet. Not offensive but nothing very interesting.

So I am at my parents house and I found this in the fridge. Not sure if I was supposed to drink it, but since walleye isn’t home, and there is a six pack I think I am pretty safe. The beer however is far from interesting. A pale amber body with a decent white head. The aroma is sugary with some caramel malts. Flavor is ok with more sugary malts and just a faint hint of bitterness at the finish. Fairly crisp with just a bit of lingering sweetness.

Bottle. Very still, very clear, and amber. The head is big, white and poofy. Can’t say I could extract much of an aroma here. The beer drinks with a corn-sugary essence, silky smooth. Nothing to make this stand out. (#3953, 7/25/2010)

Bottle from Meijer, has a clear reddish brown-gold pour with a one finger white head that quickly lowers to a broken cover and ring, aromas of light toasted malt and caramel, some malt sweetness, brown dried leaves and faint grass (hops), flavors of light toasted malt, caramel same as the aromas for the most part), malt sweetness, not dry at the finish, there is some malt sweetness trailing after the finish, faint alcohol flavor in the background gives away that this is a cheap beer, beer has a light mouth feel, nothing exciting here but an easy hot Summer drink.

poured amber with a white head. aroma malts, grain, and dough. flavor orange peel, green apple, Caramel malt. not to bad went well with pizza

Sampled in a sixer of 12oz bottle. A nice amber beer. Quality made. Not bad, well priced. There isnt much to say about this in terms of amazing quality but it is also well and above many average american brews at a supermarket. Not bad
