Appearance: Dark caramel brown with a decently frothy tan head impressed by the length of the retention, lacing still lies rather thin specks. Aroma: European hopping dosage with cooked veggies and darker roasts bringing slight caramel notes not bad. Taste: Much better than I recall Beck's ever tasting, with slight sweet mild chocolate notes and a hoppy cooked veggie finish not bad refreshing and flavorful not bad. Mouthfeel: A bit thin but it's not horrible light to medium bodied nowhere near as watery as a typical American macro. Drinkability: I could definitely buy a sixer of this to watch a football game with has some flavor and character therefore not bad in my book.

Deep garnet appearance with a tiny beige head and no appreciable lacing. Toasted malt aroma with a hint of toffee. Very simple flavors with a cardboard-like taste. Pretty much lacking a substantial hop footing. Sweetish finish lasted longer than it should have. Needs more body.

This stuff I think is underrated. Really smooth and flavorful lager. None of the nasty smell/flavor of regular Becks, I actually just realized it's a separate style altogether, one that I typically enjoy. That makes sense. I'd happily drink this if available out to dinner or some such occasion.

A decent dark beer, one that rests solidly on the average part of the scale. 2010/07/17

Pours kind of a brownish color but without much viscosity to it. Small less brown in color head, 1/5" and no retention. Aroma of brown malt roasted, I don't get any skunkiness like I do from the regular version of Beck's.

Taste of metal and earth making me think of the Industrial Revolution. Slightly lighter in body than your average dunkel, somewhat brought in that direction by the higher than average carbonation. Bitterness is there, noble hop and roasted malt derived I would guess.

Its ok, not revolting, not great.
