Nice golden colour with a 1 centimetre white head. Aroma of malt, hops a bit of metal and a tiny bit of nuttyness. Strong maltiness in the taste with the subtlety of hops and the strong flavour of metal. Somewhat reminiscent of an american lager, but a bit better. I don't know how this got classified under 'American Dark', maybe someone was drunk when they created this beer. This is a lager or an 'American Standard' and should be re-classified. This beer isn't too great compared to the style, but if you are around the area (Washington,Baltimore), pick one up and try it for yourself! I bought my 12 ounce bottle at Total Wine in McLean, Virginia.

Bright orange (I'm glad it's not silver); light malt character, with hints of bread crust and caramel. Watery finish.

Red-brown malty ale with an e-n-o-r-m-o-u-s bitterness. Tasty, but IMO not balanced.

Red to gold in colour. Sweet and bland with sweetish raspberry flavour. More like an alco-pop than a credible fruit beer.

Amber coloured. Floral, hopy nose. Citrusy, big time hoppy flavour. Really bitter. A typical American style IPA, and a good one at that.

Pale amber color, light fizzy head disappeared quickly. Very light carbonation gives it an almost water-like mouthfeel (not that its lacking in flavor -although I wouldn't say its got alot of flavor either). Aroma has a hint of fruit - although closer to a wine cool type of fruitiness. Flavor is pretty sweet upfront, with no bitterness except in a lingering aftertaste. Drinkable, but I wouldn't recommend it.
