Drank from 1 gallon mini keg (all to myself). Easy to drink. Does not taste bad but is only a step or two above a budweiser. Piss gold. Nice big foamy head. Aftertaste lingers (which isnt bad at all). Great to drink with buddies who have not had an imported beer and cant appreciate something of high value.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Corny malty aroma with lots of sweet notes. Very light in color with a big white head. The taste is sweet, almost cloyingly so, with not too much balance. Not a fan.

Light maltiness of vienna, Munich, and caravienne. Toasty malts and lightly bready. Lightly flavorful and quaffable.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear deep golden color with a thin fizzy white head. Aroma is a sweet biscuity toffee malt with a little bit of overripe apple juice. The flavor has some caramel and toffee with a surprising amount of bitterness on the back end. Fruity with a slight touch of alcohol to it. A bit of spicy yeast to the flavor too. Medium body and leaves a nice bitter dryness on the tongue.
