Crystal clear gold coloured body with a fast-dying white head. Aroma of skunky hops, caster sugar, light malt and some odd fruit aromas. Light-bodied; Sharp hoppy flavour with some malt lingering behind along with a short fruity flavour. Aftertaste shows nothing with a bit of metal and malt. Overall, a pretty bad offering, but not the worst. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 19-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

In the bottle at the Max & Joe’s Tavern Michigan Beer tasting (11/21/6). Bright golden yellow in color. Vaporous white head. Ketone diacetyl aroma. Tart sour flavor. This beer is a drain pour. Gone bad. Yuk.

Poured piss yellow. Not much in the nose besides mild grainy hops. Tasted slightly hoppy but had a bitter too dry finish. Not too good but still better than a Bud.

Sampled on draught @ Traverse Brewing Company in Williamsburg, Michigan. Clear light yellow color. Subtle aroma, with light malt (grain, cookie), light cascase (citrus), along with a touch of leather and vanilla, though barely there. Not much in the flavor either, perhaps a bit of earthy hops, biscuit and skunk. Another beer from this brewery that I did not like.

Dark golden yellow, no head. Aroma and flavor very euro-skunky and sour. Long euro-skunk aftertaste. very watered down.
