Pours like rootbeer... like exactly like rootbeer... large nasty looking carb. bubbles and a thin sudsy beige head. Smells like dust, mold, with distant notes of burnt caramel malt. Seriously? This is about as bad as the blonde... maybe worse... where is the flavor??? Sweet sugary flavor with a small hint of caramel. There is no beer in my beer!?!?!? It’s not bad tasting.. it just really doesn’t taste like anything...

Definitely not the worst beer I’ve had, but on the same token it’s a bit underwhelming. Pours a decent looking amber color with a nice head that doesn’t stick around. A little bit of hops are present. Has caramel flavors along with light fruits. Carbonation is slightly sharp. The wife really likes this one, which is good considering she’s not a beer drinker at all. It’s actually a beer the both of us can agree on, which is nice. Far from my favorite, but also far from the worst I’ve ever had. Not a bad price either!

An old favorite of mine. Slight aroma of malts. A nice amber color with a small white head that leaves quickly. Slight flavor of roasted malts and spices, finishes with a small bitter kick.

Clear dark amber brown, moderate head with no lacing. Sweet faint caramel aroma. Sweet pale malt palate with a mild caramel nuance to it. Surprisingly quite bland given the striking amber appearance.

Draught at some bar in Arlington, VA while visiting my brother. This beer has a vomit flavor to it. I don’t know why anybody would drink this on purpose.

Light aroma of carmelized malts and corn. Amber with small white head. Caramel malt, corn, metal, touch of spicey hop flavor. Light body with moderate carbonation. Dry light finish with hint of bitterness.
