Pours very black, thicker pour and a very thick dark tan head. The aroma is of roasted grains, dark malts. The taste has a full body with no bitter aftertaste weetness. Almost as thick and chewy as an imperial stout. Stout beers are my leaste favorate style but this isn't that bad of a beer.

53 Alaskan Brewing Winter Ale United States Spiced Beer 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Pours crystal clear, golden amber, carbonated, and with a small amount of head that disappears quickly. The aroma consists of a bready malt, and spruce. The taste has the spruce sentiment carry over into the flavors, bringing a candy flavor into the profile that is unique. While being very rich, this beer is really balanced, and definitely warming. A nice spice in the profile, and plenty of malt to fill the belly. The bitter aftertaste compliments the malty/esther flavor of the initial taste.

54 Alba Scots Pine Ale United Kingdom Scottish Ale 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Pours a very cloudy pale orangish/amber color with a small off-white head with a creamy looking lacing. The aroma has a strong scent of pine and herbal notes. Nothing else stands out. The taste has a very strange sweetness to it, like pine sap, but it's good. Very herbal along with a strong honey flavor. Maybe a little bit of lemon citrus? The alcohol doesn't show through too much and has a mild bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

57 Alhambra Negra Spain Dunkel / Dark Lager 3.0

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

pours an almost black color with a thin head that is almost white and the lacing is adequate. The aroma is of a sweet malt with subtle hops. The taste is a nice balance of smoky bitterness and not to dry malt. There are very complex flavors here with some hints of dark chocolate and coffee. The mouthfeel is surpassingly effervescent & the texture is bit more watery than I expected, but not in a bad way, & a rather refreshing beer.

It was cheap, which explains a lot. I believe it to be one of the worse beers i have ever had. Ranks right up there with Milwaukee's best (or as i call it Milwaukee's worst. My advise chug this beer or use for beer pong etc.

61 American Ice United States Pale Lager 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

Pours a crisp golden straw yellow whose head rises up with a mound of white fluff but quickly disappears leaving minimal lacing at best. The aroma was sweeter then the usual of this style. Grainy and tortilla corn like. The taste was horrible, like the regular or light version, he most positive thing I can say about the taste is that I think there was a hint of hops. The mouthfeel is thin and low end.

62 American Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

pours a clear, yellowish gold body reveals a short but frothy head of bright white foam with ok retention and leave some nice splashes of lace throughout the entire glass. The aroma offers some clear sulphur, and a delicate waft of sweet malt. The taste is similar to aroma and the sweet malt suggested by the aroma can be found in the flavor, but just barely. The body is light. In the end just a light version of their reqular beer so if possible sucks worse.

63 Amstel Bright Curacao Pale Lager 4.0

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The appearance is very bright and clean. I really like the taste. They serve it up with a lime... but I tasted it without the lime squeeze and thought it tasted fantastic. I added the lime and didn't think it affected the overall flavor. The mouthfeel is very light and crisp. It's also very refreshing. It's just a really really good brew especially when sitting on a beach in the Caribbean.

A nice beer for a lite. Pleasent hops taste, nice color. It purs with a weak head on my glass. Low carbonation. It has a nice palate for being a light beer. Better by far than most american light beers.
