Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear orange amber with a slight off-white head. Bready aroma with some light noble hop. Med body. Flavor is bready, but it’s sort of like a drink of water towards the finish. There’s a very small amount of hop bitter, but not much.

Bottle. Poured clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate balanced aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Drinkable smooth brew.

Can @ Camden Yards. Pours clear amber with a medium, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is Vienna malt and spicy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with light hops and bitterness with a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

Copper colored beer with a white head. Really bland and watery aroma. Some bread, maybe a bit of toast, and a fair amount of grass. Light yeast, hints of metal, and a lot of "meh". The flavor is similarly boring. Watery and sweet. Bread, grain, and a touch of toast. Grassy hops, minimal bitterness, a touch of metal, and some yeast.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours clear medium copper with minimal off-white head and a lot of separate carbonation streams. Nose is grainy malt, mild hops. Tastes of grainy malt, hops, mild earthy and brown sugary notes. The palate is fairly dense, but this one is somewhat run-of-the-mill, and a bit underattenuated. Comes off like a poor man’s Boston Lager.

Bottled. Poured clear, bright orange with a short white head. The aroma picked up toasted fruit, honey, and light biscuity malts with detergent and dank pine accents.. OK. The flavor found honey and overly sweet fruity notes at the core, with light, grainy bitterness and tartness around.. finished tangy with fruit skins over biscuity malt. Light-bodied with a good feel from moderate carbonation on the palate.. not good per se, but very drinkable.

12 ounce bottle from a Kroger. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized fizzy tan head. Weak head retention. Aroma of caramel, nuts, mild hops. The taste is grainy malts with a bit of caramel and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied. A start of a good beer here, but not quite.

Bottle. Corn syrup and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with giant head. Sweet corn/barley malt and mildly bitter herbal hay hops flavor. No surprises here.

Bottled, dark amber color with no foam, fruity decent Vienna flavors with a nice malt backbone

Nose of soft caramel toasted malts soft hops. Golden amber pour thin white head. Flavors of soft caramel toast light sweetness soft hops clean finish. Pretty decent. I’ve had way worse I can tell you that.
