Location: Sampled at Living Social Beerfest, 12/6/13
Aroma: Nose of dull malts, bread, corn, and hops reminiscent of Miller Lite's "triple hop" brewing
Appearance: Clear dark orange color with a smallish off-white head on it
Flavor: The flavor is much the same, dull and a little malty, nothing much going on hop wise
Palate: The body is light, the mouthfeel is mediocre, and the finish is short and mild
Overall Impression: This was basically exactly the mediocre crap I expected it to be. Why bother spending any more time writing a longer review?

tap - Pours light amber with a white head. There’s a mild grainy malt aroma. It tastes sweet with some bland toasted malt. Gold medal winning? From whom? It’s not terrible, but it’s just another dull, under-flavored attempt at a mass market "craft" beer.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, golden, amber with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aromas of malt and that’s about it. Lightly bitter with a touch of sourness on the finish. Surprisingly full body with a creamy texture.
Not one that I would buy again. Especially, when there are so many other beers that are way better and cost the same.

I found this at a rural Wisconsin bar, and it cost $1.50. Cheap or not, this beer sucks. Amber color. Sweet sugar and that is about all there is, it reminds me of Grainbelt Nordeast without the history, quality, or palate of that name, at least to a Twin Cities resident.

Copper Color, Good Head, Little Spotty Lacing. Sweet, Lightly Toasted Malt, Light Caramel, Maybe just a hint of hops. Watery and bland, miles away from good micros. Then again nothing too bad, decent attempt and way better than regular Coors Lineup. Lets just say a step in right direction.

A shame that Coors has to hide behind a fake brewing company and pass this off as a craft brew. A very weak example of an amber lager, faint malt aroma, fast fading airy head, malt taste (think malt liquor). Very disappointing.

Crisp copper coloured body with a light amber glow and a thick, three centimetre tall light tan head - this actually looks nice. Aroma of pale malt, light alcohol, hints of subtle hops, some nuts and a bit of cardboard. Light-bodied; Sharp nutty and earthy malt with a lot of caramel, some light spices, the slightest hint of hops and a bit of alcohol noticeable. Aftertaste pretty subtle with malt and caramel coming out strongly. Overall, a surprisingly decent beer - I was bracing for the worst, and this has a decent flavour profile - if not exciting, but a drinkable beer for sure. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 06-July-2013 for US$1.07 sampled at home in Washington on 19-July-2013.

Pour is a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is some stale bready malt and not much else. Flavor is again malty, dry and little or no aftertaste. Not as watery as I though it would be. No frills here.

Pours amber into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Nutty caramel aromas. Medium balanced with caramel and dry earth front to back.
