Total Wine & More, Chantilly 14.0oz can ($1.50): Pours a brownish colour with a creamy head. Aroma is mostly caramel malt with some hops. Taste is slightly metallic with a bunch of caramel malt. A small amount of hop bitterness is present. Easy drinking and it has a nice mouthfeel, but as a beer in total, it ainโt that great.

440 ml can purchased at Rimann Liquors in Prairie Village, Kansas. The pour is a slightly hazed copper, with brown and golden, along with a well formed 1 1/2 inch off white head. This beer fills my Samuel Smith nonic pint glass perfectly. The aroma is gentle caramel malt sweetness, toasty malt and a nice earthy mineral. The taste is quite soft, cracker and caramel malt, followed by floral bitterness that bites nicely through the introductory sweetness. There is an interesting milky fruitiness to the finish which is (far) more pleasant than it sounds. The palate is medium bodied, very creamy mouth feel, low soft carbonation and the dry, slightly mineral bitter finish. Nothing about this beer really wowed me, but in total, I really enjoyed it. Nice beer to have around the house.

This beer pours dark from a can with a pleasant aroma. One of the better smelling beers which are not fruit beer. Creamy anulus. Nice and mellow with soothing fine co2, not a whole lot, just enough to let you know its there. Yes, simply a riendly beer, glad to try this. I liked the other Cain I had too, it was just as mild. This what I think when I think beer, just simply good mild stuff. Does have a slight alky feel to it on the finish. Does get a little flat near the end of the can.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is some caramel malt. Flavor is about the same. Some caramel malt maybe a touch of hops and a bitter aftertaste. Very thin but I know they were going for an old school style english bitter. Good thing I live in the times of better crafted brew.

Served on draft at Mellow Mushroom Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear copper color with a medium sized creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of floral hops and caramel malts. The taste is caramel, toasted malts, bitter leafy hops and a faint bit of fruitiness. Medium bodied. Very drinkable.
