This is their Oklahoma Suks beer. It's a pale lager, not a red ale. 12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine - The Rim, San Antonio, TX. Pours a crystal clear very light yellow color with a white head and good retention. Almost no lacing. Grainy aroma. Sweet corn grain and malt flavor. No bitterness. Crisp mouthfeel. Clean and smooth finish. Light, watery body. Much better than I feared based on the pour. Generic, but actually pretty enjoyable.

Had in Austin, TX on a trip. Poured a light golden colour with a small white cap and some wet lacing. Nice Saaz hop nose over mild cereal grains. Same hops in the taste with the light malty base. Lightly crips mouthfeel, medium-bodied. A decent Pilsner, maybe just a tad too thick to have another one.

After having Cooper's BBQ in Austin, TX, had this one at The Jackalope bar. Slightly hazed golden amber with a frothy white cap average stay and some spotted foam lacing. Mild citrus peel from oranges and grapefruits. Fairly dry mouthfeel and bitter enough citrus zest taste. Quite a decent dry and bitter citrusy IPA.

Crisp, slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a large, four to five centimetre tall, quite soapy off-white head. Aroma of grass, citrus, resin, pine and a lot of floral notes, all with a ton of bitterness, some light sugars and a dose of alcohol noticeable towards the end. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich, deep floral and grassy hop characteristics show through at first with a lot of grain, some fruits with grapefruit and pure oranges the strongest and ending with a lot of alcohol and a good deal of malt that does strike the proper balance, but is still very strong throughout. Aftertaste shows some bitterness from all the hops with a light floral and earthy bite with some dry grassy finishes and a dose of the alcohol and malt throughout and less of the hops and fruits with almost no sweetness at all throughout this one. Overall, a decent Imperial IPA, but showing too much punch up front with not enough hop characteristics and not enough robust and complex flavours to make this worthwhile. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Spec's in San Antonio, Texas on 12-October-2019 for US$3,92 sampled in my hotel room here in San Antonio, Texas on 13-October-2019.

12 oz. bottle purchased in San Antonio, TX. Pours a dark black color with ruby highlights and a huge tan head and excellent retention. Limited lacing. Roasty aroma. Charred malt and oats flavor. Dark, dark, and more dark and minimal dark bitter chocolate. Pretty smooth for 8.0% ABV; Adds just a touch of warmth.
