Amber color with a thick thin head with decent retention and leaving some laces.
Mild aroma with notes of piney and earthy hops, biscuit, toasted malts and a distant berry.
Flavor with notes of guarana, caramel, some grapefruit citrusy, earthy hops, cardboard and a bit of berry. I did not really got honey here, I felt more as plain sugar. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light body with good carbonation.
Sugary and caramelly Amber Ale with some earthy notes. Cheap, but still not worth it.

This brew came from a reasonably priced twelve pack, picked up after a hike. The beer is a gold-amber color, very clear, with a slim white head. The aroma is lightly malty...a bit of toast, but not much else. Balanced flavor, some mid-taste hop bitterness, but nothing exceptional. Medium body. There is nothing offensive here, but it is also a lowest-common-denominator beer.

Man these beers suck, all of them are below average for style or otherwise. This one wasn't as bad as some of the others, but nonetheless. . .

Pours an amber, almost red like color with 1/3" off white head. Aroma ain't shit, totally lacks any dry hopping or aroma hop varieties.

Taste is a dreadful stale caramel like red malt but without the sweetness. Hops are lacking. I could definitely do without the metallic bitterness throughout the mouth feel of this one. You can tell they cheap out and go for some super high alpha acid hop pellets probably for bittering and nothing else hop wise going on.

This looks ok and is a decent price. Other than that, there really aren't any saving graces or positives to speak about. At barely cheaper than world class SNPA, this has no reason to exist in my world. Avoid.

Comes in a 12 can variety pack from Walmart. A few bucks cheaper than other craft beers. A bit better than standard macro brews. But I’d rather pay a couple bucks more and get something else.

I would say more of a copper gold color than red with white cap,

Aroma is caramel malt with no hops to speak of.

Taste is of an amber style malt forward caramely beer with, according to the label, honey added at some stage. I can say very sweet like a fruit added Radler but there is another dimension of flavor particularly noticeable in the aftertaste. Can't say it's really sweet but it is honey like. Hops remain hidden, at least from me.

Light medium texture with balancing carbonation.

An inoffensive caramel amber ale with less hop presence than Bud light which I think says enough.
