A nice basic amber. Nothing really complex, but smooth and drinkable. Fairly well balanced...nice.

Transparent amber pour with a fluffy head. Big sweet malty nose. Thin bodied mostly watered down flavor. It is, however quite refreshing in the NC humidity

This one pours a clear bright amber colour with a medium sized white head. Aroma is very malty accented by strong hop aromas. Plenty of carbonation in this one, but taste is unfortnately dissapointing. Flavor is a little stale with hops initially, but finish is watery.

Bottle. Crispy caramel nose with nice earthy hops and light nuttiness. Deep amber pour with a soapy, yellow-tinged off-white head. Malty, slightly syrupy taste, caramel with herbal hops. Toffee with a touch of toast. Very, very crisp taste on a medium body. Not bad!

Sweet Malty aroma. One rater said it smells like corn. I can see why that person would say that. Nice dark golden color, a thin head that disappears. At first, it was overly carbonated, but they quickly went away. Sweet malt flavor, with a moderate bitter finish. Also, small alcohol overtones in the finish.
