From old tasting notes. Deep honey gold color with a small bubble carbonation and a large creamy white head. Decent ale-like malt nose with a hint of sour apples. Initially, a sweet ale-like flavor. Zesty midtaste comes across and leads to a bitter hop finish. Tart bittersweet finish.

Tap at Genesee Brewhouse. Almost nose nose. A bit of grain and fruit. Fruity, sweet flavor with some corn. Pale golden color. Not much happening. Drinkable I guess.

Tastes like a Macro. Watered Down and Little Taste. Carbonated and sour aftertaste. Must face some tough choices to pick it. Below average.

Sample at GAF. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A light sweet malty nose. Biscuit, honey, watery very light. Decent.

Really basic stuff. +++ Sampled form a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant amber color with an enormous creamy yellow-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faintly sweetish, tangy and industrial. The flavor was tart, tangy, bitter and somewhat citric. Medium length tart, tangy and industrial finish. Medium body. It is what it is.

Bottle. Honey and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with large white head and mild effervescence. Slightly sweet and light barley malt flavor. Not much body. Not much to it but non-offensive.

Drank directly from a short stubby twist off bottle that was in an old time variety pack. Looks like any other pale lager. Smells a little cheap beery but OK. A little metallic at first then that smoother after a few seconds. Does not have a whole lot of rude ale attributes, taste almost borders on decent cheap lager. Smoother as the session continues. Probably is higher than 5%. Goodly amount of sizzle in there, makes it nifty on the palate. Even friendly after a while.
