Pours a gorgeous copper but the head dies immediately. A bit of a sweet aroma with little malt and no hops detected. For as dark and rich as it looks this has a surprisingly light feel in the mouth. No hops, just a smidgen of aftertaste. This doesn’t taste anything like you’d expect. So it’s disappointing in that aspect. But it is very refreshing. With it’s light mouth feel I’d drink/serve this over a typical light beer any day. Paid $2.50 ($1.50 plus the cork fee) at Three Cellars in Franklin, Wisconsin.

Sampled at GABF. Good thing to, as there’s no way I’d want to have to buy this. Darkish pour. Some sweet malt aroma. Pretty well carbed. Tastes brown. Thats about all I’ve got. I’m sure the ingredients were Brown, bubbles, and alcohol.

Sample at Zax on September 27, 2009 with mamaP. Light, clear amber orange color. Slow steady carb. Lasting, patchy lacing. Sweet amber aroma. Stereotypical amber malt flavor. A textbook light amber brew. Ana says it has a bitter bite, but I don’t notice...

Not a huge fan of canned beers but this one suprised me.A nice medium mouthfeel with no tinny aftertaste.Definately Colorados version of Yuengling.A solid session brew.

Tin, 355ml, pasteurised from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Red amber with white head. Looking good is about the best it gets, there is a cardboardy carbonation flavour with a dull caramel note. It is fairly sweet and fruity with a grainy malt. Not particularly very good.

Aroma caramel and malty. Low carbonation. Flavor a little cidery, but good.
