Pours a golden color, weak head and almost little lacing.
The flavor is malty, not bad but just okay. Lightly hopped, finish is decent, nothing special.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malts, grains. Taste is grains, light malts, a touch of an unusual aftertaste. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

Clear amber with thin tan-tinted head. Sweet caramel malt-heavy "lager" aroma and taste. Medium bodied with fairly light carbonation. It's drinkable.

Looks pale amber. Smell/taste is generic--cracker/biscuit, maybe. Seems to lean more towards malt than hops, but good balance. A little like Sam Adams maybe? Feel clean and light. Overall decent lager, good but unmemorable.

Average average average. Don't get too excited about this one! It reminds me of rolling rock a little bit, with an off taste throughout. Oh, well. At least we just had a sample of it.
