This beer reminded me a bit of Newcastle Brown Ale, but much weaker. While it was a little watery, it was smooth and tasty for the most part.

12oz bottle. Pours a medium amber color with a white head and sticky lacing. Not much going on in the nose, just some basic malts. Palate isn’t bad, theres no severe off flavors, but nothing that really got my attention. Some caramel malts with no hop character, but maybe a little bitterness on the finish. Not something I would go for, but not bad overall.

This is a Bock that isn’t a Bock? VERY Good tasting ! But tastes nothing like a Bock? That’s why the high ratings ! Add more alcohol that Coors and then, you have a Winner !

Bottle. Ice tea appearance. Really nothing distinct in the aroma or flavour. Watery. Not good.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark copper. slight off white head. Slightly sweet malt taste.Somewhat unique flavoring.....caramel?....good, but not great or outstanding.

Nothing special here. Most drinkable of the TX beers, but still only when it’s cold on a hot day.

Bottle from family reunion pack. Pours a dark amber color with a quickly disappearing white head. Toasted malt, caramel and sugar aromas. Flavor is a little bland. Very malty with a hint of sugar sweetness. Watery texture with average carbonation. An ok session beer but I remember this tasting better on tap.

Es ist etwas wässrig, dennoch bei weitem nicht so wässrig wie man es von amerikanischen Lagern gewohnt ist, außerdem ist es relativ süffig. Ich würde es als gutes Durchschnittsbier bezeichnen. Test vom 19.10.2004, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,8,9,7,11,9 - 8,55
