jcwattsrugger (10000) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - JUN 16, 2005
on tap-poured a white head that reduced moderately. Color an amber, nice taste. This could be a regular, although I have been using Yuengling Premium as one of my regulars.

hopscotch (8215) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 4, 2002
UPDATED: APR 5, 2003 This beer has all the best characteristics of several other bland american standards. Appearance = Coors Extra Gold. Aroma = Coors Light Flavor = Somewhere between Budweiser and Original Coors. Palate = Miller Light This is "America's Oldest Brewery"? I guess this is a testament to the average American's affection toward flavorless beer brewed with lots and lots of adjuncts.

Bov (8204) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - MAY 23, 2013
from Bier-Bienne - translucide and bright red-amber beer with no head retention; aroma of popcorn and caramel; medium-bodied, pretty tart and fizzy; some harsh bitterness and a long corny finish

Travlr (7984) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - JUL 19, 2009
Too watery for my tastes. Starts off like a decent enough lager, but then collapses in shame.

hopdog (7652) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 19, 2004
Poured a clear medium amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel and malts. Lightly sweet a well. Thinner body. Nothing to go out of your way for.
