Wow that’s a bad sweaty sock smell. Fake sugar taste with a slight bitter and sour end. Leaves a really sour aftertaste. Not a good beer at all.

No real head worth mentioning, pours very quickly and a little like water. Nonetheless the taste is all right with grains, malts, a little fruitiness. However I find this brew somewhat watery.

A fairly average lager, but actually much better than I was expecting. The colour was not the greatest nor was the head, but mouthfeel and flavour were acceptable,

Bottle tasted on 06.13.09. Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is very malty and sugary. Flavor is malty and hoppy and better than the aroma, but I would not drink this again.

Aroma is initially of urine with a little skunk. That settles down after a bit, but is never really appealing. Flavor is a pretty simple malt liquor, some corn, a bit of malt, not much going on. Pass, if you can.

12oz bottle: Apperance is golden brown with quick fading white head, aroma has hints of malt and spices but very weak, flavor like caronated malty water. Very little flavor to this beer but no off flavors to speak of.

Aroma - lightly sweet malt. Appearance - clear golden color with puffy white head that had medium retention but better than average lacing. Flavor - lightly sweet, corn, hit of hops. Palate - thin like water, but with average carbonation. Overall - super light on taste, reminds me of the water-like beers such as coors light, miller light, bud light.... A let down really, but if you like those watery beers then maybe this is right up your alley.

Good malt aroma but could use more. Sight biscuity smell with a touch fruit and some pee on deep whiffs. Has a weak unlear gold - maybe nearer to straw colour, poured a big creamy white cap that has really good retention the entire time and produces nice ropy lacing. Mouthfeel is really smooth and creamy. Medium light body. Taste is a bit of a let down since I was expecting a more profound malt flavour, but better than I expected for overall goodness. Either way, there is still plenty of malt taste that is backed by an obvious quantity of mild hops. The after taste is a bit odd with a sweet earthiness and slight bitterness which all fades quickly. Decent enough beer. I’d buy it on occasion if I could.
