At the time I drank this in Texas in the 80s it was the best beer you could get there, and I enjoyed it. Thankfully there is more available now. No reason to go back to this one.

Bottle. Caramel color with decent head retention. This beer is absolute garbage. In fact. It really tastes like dumpster juice. Tastes like caramel wrapped in wet newspaper.

bottle. Tastes like a watered down mediocre schwarz. Unoffensive and poundable though.

Brown colour with a red centre. Not much on the nose...a little earth. This is an extremely light beer. Distinct taste of water throughout the mouth....very light hops and a whisper of roasted malt. I really wish just about everything was just a little intensified. Then this might be a real winner.

Poured clear brown with a white head. Nice light malts. Pleasantly surprised, as it is not too sweet and has a smooth finish.

nice Golden Brown with little aroma, lightly carbonated. Overall generally crisp with lots of toasty malts, light amount of hoppiness and a fairly clean finish. flavor has notes of cereal and caramel. A good all around beer, the kind where you could drink 3 or 4 or more. could also be a good summer beer.

MUCH better than Lone Star, this should reign as the official beer of Texas. Not a great beer, but more complex than some others. Dark caramel color with a tannish head. Simple straightforward malt flavor. Worth a six-pack, not quite a case.

Pours a reddish amber colour with a small white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, sweet candy-ish notes, apples, wine notes as well. Palate is lighter than I would expect with the colour and pretty thin. Tastes of toffee, apples, a little bitter hops, fairly malty, fairly mediocre.
