Pours a dark amber color with a very small head. Goes down very smooth with a nice refreshing taste. A good everyday drinker.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear amber with a small, quickly dissipating head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, corn and metallic notes. Flavour is very weak and artificial, with bready malts, toasted nuts and corn - finishes metallic, fake and watery. Not good at all.

bottle purchased at sprint mart. Pours dark brown from bottle with a finger of khaki foam which rapidly disappears. Not much on the nose except a hint of corn. Very thin mouth-feel. Not getting any malt on the tongue. Finish is watery. Maybe they forgot to hop this batch.

pretty crappy beer. wouldn’t recommend or drink again unless it was out of necessity.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tasted on 8/28/11 from a 12oz bottle at Lush Roscoe. Pours a very clear amber with a thick white head that recedes fairly quickly to thin, spotty lace. The nose features some toasted, nutty, caramelized malt with just a hint of green bitterness. The flavor is the same, with the malty flavors dominating. Bread, caramel, and some toasted nuts are all present, with just a hint of some green bitterness on the back. The body is light with lively, stinging, carbonation and a short bread and hint of hops finish.

This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.

I really wanted to like this beer. From a small brewery in Texas, competing against the big boys, I mean... I really wanted to like this beer.
This was not to be. Poor example of a bock beer, even in the American style. Too lightly flavored, and a body that was simply too fizzy.
Here is my guess; this beer is really geared toward the palates of those mowing their lawns on a hot summer day in Texas. It simply doesn’t offer much.

Somehow I think my rating was nuked at some point as I have had this on multiple occasions. Pours a crystal clear deep red with a fluffy head that doesn’t lace well and dissipates fast. Nose is adjunct laden, some strong caramel and an odd metallic twinge. On tasting, much the same with some candy corn type notes as well. Could be worse, but definitely not a good beer.
