Sampled tonight on 2/23/14. On draft at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Omaha, served in a 22-ounce mug.
Poured a amber in color with no head at all. Very light spotty lacing was seen.
The aroma is of caramel and malts. The taste is the same with a tasty amount of caramel. Very smooth and goes down easy. No bitter or harsh aftertaste. Always like this one.

A-nice reddish amber with complete lack of head
S-caramel malts. A bit of buttercream. Very faint smell.
T-comes with actually a terrible taste of sour buttercream and sour caramel. I like sour beers but this sour taste is unwelcomed. It reminds me more of moldy sour cream than anything else. Maybe it just has some lemon or lime in it? To add to the beach theme? I sure hope so, otherwise this beer is rotten. Has a biscuity after-taste.
M-medium creamy carbonation with a dry finish
O-I don't know what their angle was here? I feel the average macro drinker that decides to be adventurous and try this will be turned away from "fancy" beer forever. Its a disgrace to what craft beer is supposed to be. But then I remember this is from Leinenkugel, and it all makes sense. It's a mellow red ale that bites the tongue with a uncomfortable tartness, like when you're drinking a milk that might be past it's prime but not lumpy yet.

On draft at Cheeseburger in Paradise, served in a 22-ounce mug that was WAY too cold.
Amber light brown color, looks like tea. On draft...no head at all.
Little smell because the glass was so damned cold but as it warmed the caramel malts started to come through. Nothing else was noticeable.
Caramel and toffee with a dirty stale hop taste. Tastes like a penny.
Mouthfeel was slightly smooth early on, then the terrible hops and chemical penny feel took over.
Not something I'd get again but it didn't kill me and probably tastes better with food.

Appearance: Clear, copper body with a very thin, though enduring white head.
Smell: Mild nose of pale malts, mildly bready, with a top note of Brach's caramels.
Taste: Lightly bready pale maltiness with some caramel sweetness present. Very, very low fruitiness. Near nil hop character and only lightly bitter. Mainly the sweetness is balanced out by a last minute burst of fizz on the clean finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Just a skosh above medium carbonation.
Overall: This one made me think of AB's American Ale, it's nothing too exciting but serves as a sufficient, tidy beer.

On tap at cheeseburger in paradise. Very coppery amber with some nice foamy white had that dissipates fairly quickly leaving some pretty substantial lacing behind.
The scent is very light and malty with a certain fruity scent. Maybe berries. Low hop presence, a light dry pine.
Flavor has a much more substantial malt profile a light caramel with some mild toasty notes. Someone mentioned coconut and i think I am detecting that as well. A teensy nit of pineapple-y hop flavor with a dry finish.
Mouthfeel is clean and light bodied. Dry finish, creamy carbination.
Very drinkable, not too filling and light flavor.
Overall quite a nice beer, flavorful and easy to drink.
