Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Stas. Clear golden. Oxidized aroma with malt, honey, caramel, cardboard, alcohol. Sweet flavor, oxidized, with malt, cardboard, honey, caramel, and a bitter stale hops finish with a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied.

Purchased at Trader Joe in Vegas. Pours a very slight hazy golden-amber colour with a warm cap, decent retention and lacing. Fruity, sweet, nutty aromas. The taste is pretty sweet, with some hops in the middle blending things, but with some metallic notes. Some oranges and light alcohol. Ugly label and the beer is not that well balanced. Glad I only have one of these.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. A light toast and orange nose. Toasted malts, sweet sugary notes, berries, strawberry especially. Odd one. Like an E European lager. Not really my thing. But it still has a drinkability and sugary sweetness like a cake that is enjoyable.

Bottle. Yellow with slight haziness and light beige spongy head, doughy aroma with a hint of hops, medium carbonation, slightly bitter taste with a metallic tinge at the end, longish finish. A bit thin bodied and bitter.

This batch was contract brewed at River Trent Brewing co., Ukiah, CA via Trader Joes. Bland and uninteresting amber ale. Malt is primary feature here, metallic finish.

12 oz. bottle from local Trader Joe’s. No bottle date. Hazy amber/ gold color with real small head. Nose is light caramel and toffee malt tones. The flavor is really odd. Old malt flavor with an Earthy bitterness and a fizzy carbonation. If you are looking for cheap beers at Trader Joe’s, grab a different one. Not really amber like at all. What the hell is this?

$1.09 bottle from Trader Joe’s Charlottesville. Looks like murky apple cider in the glass. Dusting of froth for a head. Smells of sweet malts and caramel. Tastes of an overpowering fake candied caramel, glue, grass, and metal.
