Shaker pint draft at Tap42 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The pour is a golden copper brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is sweet malt and a pleasant nuttiness. The taste is chestnut, grass floral hop, and an ever so light roast quality. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation, and a clean nut and grass finish. Simple, straight forward clean beer.

Adding this as a new beer since I could not find it elsewhere. A post to the Miami / Fort Lauderdale forum also yielded no guidance. I imagine this is a rebadge of another beer, though have no idea what it would be. No issues moving this rating if need be. Assuming Fresh Beer Inc since the Ye Olde Pub in Davie, Florida listed it as brewed in Fort Lauderdale on their menu.
Shaker pint pour at the Ye Olde Falcon Pub in Davie, Florida. Pour is a hazed copper brownish with a smallish light tan head. Aroma is nutty malt, along with a cherry sweetness and a touch of floral hops. Taste is nutty malty, less fruit sweetness than the nose, though it is present. Floral hops come out near the end, and carry the finish. Sweet nutty fruit sweetness comes out nicely as it warms. Nice full flavors. Palate is medium bodied, with soft low carbonation. Finish is the dry clean hop. Nice tasty, easy drinking beer.

Clear, ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a bit of an orange glow and a thin, half a centimetre tall white head. Aroma of corn, malt, yeast, light lemons and not much else, perhaps some cardboard. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic notes and hardly any malt to speak of with a little citrus, some cardboard, a bunch of rice and not much else. Aftertaste is mild, which is kind of a good thing, with water the main thing sticking out, with a bit of metal and some alcohol noticeable. Overall, a pretty poor beer, and I wasn’t expecting anything good, but this tastes like water with some rice and metal added - nothing too pleasant here. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Miami Beach, Florida on 18-September-2012 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 11-October-2012.

Bottle from Liz. Pours pale gold with a slight white head. Aroma is bready with some herby hop. Med body. Flavor is clean, bready and has some spicy saaz hop. Finishes mildly bitter. No gumminess. Better than many pale lagers.

Bottle @ FBGBF ’010. Pouring crystal clear ruby red amber with light tan head and spotty lacing. It is a good looking beer. The mild aroma is sweet with a touch of caramel, a little bit of toffee and maybe a hint of butterscotch and some nuttiness. The taste is modest starting with dry roastiness sliding into mild nuttiness and them becoming a bit roasty with malts and some caramel sweetness around the edges all mixing into the finish.

Draft @ FBGBF ’10. Pours amber, off-white head. aroma, roasted malts, dry malts, mild nose of caramel. flavors, nice roasted malts is a little hindered by the hoppy side that seems to be a little too high, med-high carb, simple roast/pale malts. Not a bad brown, just a tad boring.

My bottle said indian river native lager, could have been nature. Looks like pale lager. Has a slight aroma of paint. Plenty of hops for a lager. Its almost ale like in character and personality. Nearly a mild IPA at times. A helthy hop bitter bite sets in on the end which makes me think this is in the wrong place.

bottle, pours gold with a medium white head. Pale malt and hay aroma. Grassy flavors that end with next to no bitterness. Very boring and watery.

Not sure about the native in this beer, yet another below average brew by FBC. Pours golden/orange, white head. Aroma is hoppy with some hints of pale malts. Flavor, crisp mouthfeel, light spices , caramel finish and malts with some lingering citrus elements. Not horrible, but nothing groundbreaking.
