Bottle from an Albertsons! Pours a very dark brown with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is rather nutty over smooth chocolate/burnt malt. Medium minus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a little nutty, more chocolate. Not strong. But good. I could drink this frequently.

11.2 oz bottle into English pint. Aroma is caramel malt; doughy. Pours dark brown with pretty good lacework with a medium off-white head which retains itself for a few minutes leaving a collar of foam. Taste is roasted coffee. A little sweet, no real bitterness. Finishes with a light tang. A bit thin in body. Carbonation is medium. My overall impression is that this is pretty bland, but compared to the last three beers I’ve drank it’s a huge step up. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a mild ale before. Not bad, but not great. Addendum: nice malty roasted aroma opens up considerably as it warms. I should have let the bottle warm a bit before ranking. It was too cold at first.

11.2 oz bottle. Aroma is extremely sweet caramelized grains. Smells somewhat like a Sam Adams Boston Lager, maybe a little sweeter. Pours golden with a medium dissipating head, decent lacing. Taste is sweet. Medium carbonation, creamy mouthfeel, watery finish. Not bad, but it seems like a direct ripoff of Sam Adams’ flagship brew, which is itself something I’ve never been all that enthusiastic about.

On tap - pours a golden yellow with a light head. Flavour is a little wheaty with mild hops. Nothing spectacular.

Bottle. Boured black with red tinge and medium beige head. Aroma is anything but subtle but is malty and powerful. Flavour is medium malty with a bitter edge and a bit of espresso. Lingering malt finish. Finish does not overpower but comes and goes.

Clear glass bottle. Terrible corn nose. Urine colour, no head. Almost lucky that it has no flavor and is pure water from here on.

bottle. Neon cloudy yellow, low white head. Candyish clove nose. Dry clove notes dominate the flavor, sugary sweetness, dry finish and spicy light almondy aftertaste. light but chewy body. Definitely not the worst rendition of a hefeweizen I had.

Bottle courtesy of Irondjin: Poured a deep golden color lager with a big pure white bubbly head with average retention and some good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with no adjunct detected. Taste is dominated by some sweet malt with no noticeable hops which could have increase the profile of this beer. Body is average for the style with some good carbonation. Overall, not a bad attempt but lacking some element to makes this truly interesting.
