Bottle at Chiles in Osan, South Korea. Nice to see a different beer in a country that suffers from poor beer. Pours amber/brown with a tan head. Aroma is weak but is slightly sweet. Tastes light and sweet, more malty than hoppy. Easy to drink. Good job!

A very good session beer, and a great gateway beer, but not really as good as I had thought or hoped for. Pours a deep ruby red. No real hops or barley in this one. Some carmel notes, almost a candy like finish. Thin and good.

Bottle. Dark brown with a fizzy white head that didn’t last long. No lacing on the glass. Slight nutty, roasty aroma. Flavor is a little complex, with roasted malt, a touch of sweetness and a little nutty flavor. A little over carbonated, and a bit thin and watery. A refreshing beer with some body to it.

Comes out of the tap a clear, appetizing mahogany, not much head. Aroma is malty with a fruity undertone - apple or pear. Flavor is mainly malty with a hint of fruit and touches of sweetness, hops, and nutty taste. Texture is smooth and fizzy like cola.

Bottle at the new Keg’s restaurant. For a name like that, they have a very poor variety of beers available. Not like the Yardhouse in Palm Beach Gardens where they have over 50 beers on tap. Anyway, I’m fairly certain that I was given a dirty glass to drink out of, because all I could smell or taste from this beer was dirty dish towel. Despite that offensiveness, this beer had little to no flavor at all, I caught hints of malts, but that was my tongue straining to taste ANYTHING over the dirty glass. Thin body and medium carbonation. Overall, regardless of the dirty glasses we were given, I’ll still avoid this beer in the future due to the watery mouthfeel and utter lack of flavor.

12 fl. oz. bottle, in the Houston tent at the ONS 2008, Stavanger. Brown colour, moderate creamy head. Moderate but pleasant aroma of malts, hints of caramel. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour is moderately malty and bready without any offensive sidenotes, but not exciting either.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown color with a thin tan head that fades away fast. Taste is of malt and caramel. Kind of thin, but it is still a very drinkable and enjoyable beer. I think it would be better if it had a slightly higher alcohol percentage to it. Aroma is the same, but not as profound or noticeable. Though, it is not bad for the price, I’d rather go with another beer.
