Dark ale, no head with some redeeming aroma and taste which disappears all too quickly when drank. Aroma is mild roast.

14.9 oz can purchased at Royal in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a mostly clear golden with a slight tangerine orange to it. Egg white head is lasting, coats the glass with nice lace. The aroma is mildly sweet malt grains, a hint of toast and faint grass in the back. The taste is straight forward lightly sweet cereal grain, along with a drying grass to the finish. As it warms, a touch of herbal is added to the sweetness. The palate is light to medium bodied, active carbonation, and the dry finish. Simple, though clean and fresh tasting. Easy drinking beer.

Fair lager, feels a little flat but still contains lots of taste with a yeast hop aroma.

Pour is a dark gold with a large white head. Aroma is a decent maltyness. Flavor is lager malts and a little watery. Nothing really bad about this, lager bland is about it . You could drink a lot of this and not get tired of it.

Golden colour. Not much aroma and not much taste. Except from the feel of alcohol.
