On draught at brewer. Amber pour with light lace. The nose is metallic (other users are spot on with that). The watery mouthfeel offers some lightly sweet caramel malt, but that’s about it. There’s a lightly bitter back finish. It’s highly boring and underdone. Not very impressive.

Light bronze with ring of head. Easy drinking, lightly sweet. Not a style favorite, but okay.

Pours a lightly hazy golden with a touch of amber and a smaller off white head. Aroma of metallic, a touch of caramel, some hops. Flavor of the same...actually a lot like Yuengling Lager.
