Bottle @ home. Pours a clear, reddish brown appearance with an initially large, brown head that dissipates pretty quickly. Dark toffee/caramel malty, bland lager aroma. Fairly light bodied for the style. Light caramel malty, light chocolate, earthy flavor. Not favorable but not very good either.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-brown color with a medium sized tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was faintly tangy with moderate bread, toffee a touch of nut. The flavor was tangy and sour with a faint nutty malt presence, a hint of toffee and not a whole lot more going on. Medium length tangy finish. Medium body. Eh.

Tried this in a pizza place because I could. Pours with a very quickly dissipating, cream-colored head over a ruby, clear, carbonated, body. Aroma gives you a little bit of caramel malts. Taste and palate are rather uninteresting. Caramel malts are there, a little sweetness, almost no hoppage, Still, I would take this over the normal Heineken any day.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a mix a six at Lukas in Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is a clear ruby amber golden with a three inch light tan head that falls noisily with limited lacing. Aroma of not too much, what is there is a mild nutty roast and some earthy dirtiness. A touch metallic as well. Taste is mild caramel nutty sweetness, some grass and hay and a pretty decent blast of diacetyl in the end - which makes it chemically sweet and dirty in the finish. Palate is thin to medium, lighter carbonation than I would have wanted and the aforementioned chemical dirtiness of the long aftertaste.
