I believe this is now called SKO Buffalo Gold, not the best but I found it still easily drinkable.

12 oz. Can
Enjoy By: Oct 16 2018

Pours a nice clean/clear dark golden orangy color, pretty nice carbonation, with a nice thick/creamy one-finger white head, which also leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, slight hop, grainy, slight citrus. The taste is malty, slight hop, grainy, with some slight citrus. Medium body, ABV is hidden pretty well. Overall, a tasty brew.

12oz can poured into 10oz goblet. Poured a very cloudy dark yellow color, with 1/2 inch of white head that had low retention, but good lacing.

The aroma was mostly sticky sweet, with a slight funk. I've noticed that same thing in other beers from this brewery, maybe the house yeast?

Very similar on the tongue; lots of sweetness, no grain or hops, and more of that dang funk, yo!

The body was decent, if perhaps a bit fuller than I prefer in the style.

Drinkability was a bit on the difficult side, mostly because of that funky aspect. Overall, a very meh beer. Cannot recommend.

L: Pours a copper gold color with a creamy white head and no lacing on the glass.

S: Some nutty malt, with a floral hop and a strong mineral note.

T: Some nutty malt, a light floral hop, with a very strong mineral note. Tastes rather watery

F: Light and crisp.

O: Definitely feels like it is catering to the light lager crowd, not a very interesting beer.

Bottle to pint glass.
AROMA: Vegetables.
LOOK: Gold Color, little head, but some lacing lasts awhile.
TASTE: Not good at all. Wilted Greens, Pissy Budweiser-esque.
FEEL: Thin; Surprised this is an Ale, feels more like a Lager.

Beer of the Month Club.
