Draught at Casey's Pub, 2/11/24. Clear, dark brown. Thin, dark beige head. Chocolate syrup in the nose with faint roast. Clean, though the sugar covers up most. Sweet, syrupy, tastes mostly like Hershey's syrup, followed by vague roast and light malt. Not too thin for its size. Sweet.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a fresh broken into chocolate bar. Flavor is more chocolate bar sweetness with maybe a little bitter bakers chocolate added. It's sweet but you knew that going into this. All chocolate all the way.

Draft Tulip glass at Coach's Bar & Grill in Overland Park, Kansas. The pour is a brown black with a 1/2 inch light khaki head. The aroma is soft chocolate, along with a bit of roast and general sweetness. The taste is soft chocolate, soft roast and soft malt. The palate is light bodied with light carbonation and a lingering chocolate flavor. Subdued, but clean.

Valge vaal! See on Ameerika kõige popim craft õlu muideks, või vähemalt kui kunagi uurisin, siis oli! Euroopas suht võimatu leida.. Iseenesest täitsa viisakalt tehtud magus laager, ma ise tahaks humalat rohkem, ok kraam.

Pour is a clear copper with a large tan head. Aroma is a decent enough toasted bready malt. Flavor is more bready malt with a little sweet caramel kick at the end. A little thin but pretty good for a mass produced marzen.

I had some hope for this one but alas it severely disappointed. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a large white head. The aroma was sour and tangy malts - almost skunky. The flavor was sour, tangy, corny and a bit skunky. There was a long off aftertaste.

HAHAH, pretty funny; I thought I’d be the first ratebeerian to enter and rate this, but no fricken way, Froth: You are always the ratebeerian ahead of meeeeee, in so many ways. So, I got this can for a US$ buck at JR’s. The famous clearance rack, right up my alley. First I thot this would be like any other average fruit flavored beer. But: Slight friendly fruity aroma on the old-factory. Almost clear pale, but it haz a slight haze. Taste is very friendly with very little, if any, ill bitter hopped, effects so common today in domestic fruit brews: THANKS. Yea, its friendly and easy as far as a typical American fruit beer goes; its easy and well balanced with some, tho hard to tell: Its mango. The fruit is so muted, but it always lets you know its srtah there, but in a friendly, non-forward fashion. Goes well throughout the middle. Finish is also a decent experience. Above average I’d say. JMHO. But hey, I like all of the yeengie beers, so good, so local and much older than the rest of ‘merica. Good level of co2 clear to the end. If anybody can make an attempt at a real US fruit beer? Yeengie can. There, you have it just like the satisfying finish, clear to the end. I’m not into mango, but this brew simply allows the benefits of mango to come thru without the negativities. There are so many bad examples of domestic fruit beers out there, that this steps to the front. I’m digging this well balanced PA fruit beer, you go big Y! Thanks ying for being the company that stuck it out, all thru prohibition, YOU ROCK……
