Cloudy pale yellow color, with a white head. Sweet caramel smell. Sweet taste with some butterscotch in it. Tastes like a Wearther’s original kind of. Some malts in there thrown in. Medium to light body. However, this beer comes in a great box.

White head and a pale orange body. Mildly fruity, but mostly hoppy aroma. Taste is of dry and piny hops. The hops are however done in moderation and it is not a hop slaughter beer. Also there is detectable fruitiness in the taste. I thought it was quite alright.

on tap-pours a tan head and black color with red tint. Aroma is jalapeno pepper, dark malt-roasty. Taste is jalapeno pepper, dark malt-coffee/roasty. (jalapeno apparently is coming from the general acidity). Interesting.
