A rather non-descript amber lager, with average color, head, body, and taste. I'd choose it over Budweiser but only if I had a choice. Also since it ran about 8 bucks a 6 pack i felt there were better bargins out their for the hard earned dollar.

Clear yellow to copper color. Doesn’t seem even close to amber in color. Thin head. Weak aroma. I smell almost nothing. I taste some really nice hop bitterness that pushes it out of style a bit. There is some caramel flavor notes that are a little less sweet than I’d expect. Nice light beer that kind of misses the Amber Lager style. Really could use more body.

A darker than average free spirited and easy appearance. Gallant carbonation. Taste is intriguing without being offensive. Meloncholy yet lighthearted. I don’t think this is on par with Rivertowne Last Chance Vienna Lager but it is ceratinly better than Penn Pilsner and Schell firebrick. Serene tranquil finish. Could easily drink again.

The beer pours a slightly hazed amber color topped with a light cream colored head that lasts a while. Toasted malt, caramel, bread, light earthy hops, and citrus comprise the aromatic notes of this beer. Mouthfeel is average and sticky. Flavor tends towards the sweet side of the amber spectrum with lots of caramel.

Taps clear dark amber with a thick and rather persistent creamy eggshell head that leaves generous lacing. Aroma presents fruity and malty notes, not strong but serviceable. Flavor features malty and pomme tones, typical but enjoyable. Mouthfeel delivers OK, if slightly slimy, body and good fizz. Not terrific, but worth a try - have one with dinner or during a game.

12 oz bottle. Hazy light amber, thin but tight head, no retention, minimal lace. Aroma is crystal malt, caramel, bread, light grassy hops. Flavor is light crystal malt, caramel, barely noticeable hop bite.

Amber, from bottle so little more to tell about the looks of this beer. Caramel aroma and taste. Smooth drinking, short lasting aftertaste. (Houston 201501)

I had this beer at the Quarter in Roanoke, VA. This wasn't bad and went well with the aligator tail and seafood assortment. Otherwise, it is not anything I would write home about. A very standard amber.

Pours a dark golden color. Smell is mild, some grains. Taste is also mild, rather bland, a bit of malt but not much going on. Overall nothing offensive, just a very boring beer.
