12 oz can purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, Nebraska. Pour is slight hazed light golden with a fizzy one inch head that falls fast. Some visible carbonation, but not much. Aroma of chemical honey sweetness and grainy corn wheatiness. Some fruit sweetness. This kind of smells like a cheap macro pale lager, which is odd. All in all a pretty faint nose, which isn’t such a bad thing. Taste is honey and apple fruit sweetness of the bat, transitioning to a corn grain and the wheatiness towards the finish. Palate is thin to medium, watery and coats the mouth with some chemical sweetness. Aftertaste is not very clean wheat. This sort of reminded me of Jacob’s Best at a party in college.I love you Beertopia, but you steered me wrong on this one.

[At GABF 2004] A black beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet and very roasty. The flavor is smoked with notes of rope and and a dry end.

[At GABF 2004] An opaque brown beer with a small orange head. The aroma is of roasted coffee - lovely. The flavor is sweet and very coffeeish combined with notes of chocolate, which reminds me of a cappuchino. But the end is dry and roasted - so it is not cappuchino all the way.
