Hard to tell aroma and color as I am served this in a bottle. Some caramel and hop aroma, taste is sweet but hoppy. Short dry sweet aftertaste. (Houston 201208)

Tallboy at LIncoln Wine Bar. It actually hit the spot pretty nicely. Crisp and refreshing--I had two.

Bif (1023) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - JUL 22, 2012
Can- Pours a golden color with a big head that fades to some lacing. Aroma of grain, and a bit of malt sweetness. Not a lot here. Taste of mild sweetness with some grain. A coarse bitterness and a fairly clean finish. Fairly medium body, some crispness with a gritty feel. Nice to come across an American Classic beer. Not bad for what it is and can’t beat the price.

b3shine (2243) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JUL 21, 2012
Can to pint (from notes). Looks fine; gold with white head and decent carbonation. Smells and tastes weak/mild, but unoffensive fore a macro lager. Mouthfeel is fine. Okay for what it is (and the price point).

reebtogi (3265) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - APR 23, 2012
355ml can pours a pale straw color with a small white head which leaves no lacing. Aroma is cheap cereal grains and grassy hops. Taste is much the same. Typical macro lager and not recommended.

On tap @ Joe’s Fox Hut. Pour is gold with a white head. Aroma is faint grainy malt and a touch of grass. Flavor shows the same. Overall body is light and the finish is lightly bitter.
