On tap @ Joe Jost’s Long Beach, CA. Clear amber color with a large sized off white head, highly carbonated. Nose is earth, caramel, and nuts. Notes caramel malt, nut, and slight bitter hops. Body is on the thinner side. Not gourmet but one of my favorite all day beers.

Nice amber color.You can taste notes of caramel and nuts. Very light on hops, with little bitterness. Not bad, but not as good as I thought it would be.

Years ago, this was my very first beer. As easy to get your hands on as Bud or Coors in Texas, this beer is much superior to its mainstream peers. Has a light body to match those other beers in drinkability but offers much more flavor. pretty pecan amber color, the fizzy tan head disappears very quickly. aroma of light malt, hops, and caramel. Taste is as the aroma with a quick dry finish. I hear the word "metallic" used by other beer enthusiasts, though I got that sensation a little bit it wasn’t that bad, might not have felt it if I wasn’t looking for it.

Had on tap @ Carolina Ale house in Columbia, SC. Aroma is a light dirty dish rag smell. Did the wipe the glass out with a funky dish towel? The taste is something I never to want to experience again. Was the tap contaminated??? God awful, this is the worse beer I’ve had in years

A watered-down lager with a metallic finish. A step above macrobrewery output, but there are much better beers available.

Medium and clear amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of some earthiness, roasted caramel, and nuts. Tastes of the same but thinner and somewhat watery. Body was thin and watery as well

lucent brown, very thin white head, light body, high carbonation.

aroma: bready with some minerality.

taste: some caramel malts, adjunct sweetness, bready yeast esters, a touch of tartness, and some minerality.

Not much here besides minerality and tons of carbonation. It looks maybe like real beer though.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of alcohol and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, as well as lighter notes of alcohol, bread, and sulphur. Not good for a bock.
