2l pours deep dirty blond with a strong corn aroma. This stuff is sweet corn and hay all the way, very easy to drink, but poorly balanced.

Bottle courtesy of Piscator34: Poured a super pale yellow color beer with a very small bubbly white head with no retention and lacing. Aroma of very weak malt with some lemony notes which are just plain weird. Taste is reminiscent of a wine spritzer more then a beer with almost no malt or hops distinguishable. Total drain pour and one of the worst beers I have had the chance of trying recently.

Bright amber-red colour. Would look better with a head, though. Light malt aroma, mainly of caramel. Decent body. Quite sweet - again caramel but a richer, rounder character than was hinted at in the aroma. One of the better Am Darks I’ve come across.

Hazy beige/dull dark straw sort of colour. Grainy, creamed corn aroma with doughy overtones. The flavour is doughy, lightly sweaty, with more creamed corn and a bit of footiness. Low carbonation. Poor attempt - misses at being a mainstream lager and misses at being a craft beer.

Bottle. Nutty/smoky molasses aroma. Medium brown with small head. Pine, smoke and molasses flavor - unique and very nice. A very good brown ale that I will probably never see again. Thanks to Piscator34.

Bottle. Sweet malt and metallic aroma. Clear copper color with small, quickly dissipating head. Sour malt flavor - very little hops. Pleasant but pretty light for the style.

Bottle (thanks to piscator34 for the trade). Corn/barley malt aroma. Medium golden color with small head. Corn malt flavor with light hops. This seems more like a pale lager than a pilsner to me - not bad but nothing special.
