A very respectable beer available for very cheap from Trader Joe’s. Nice amber color with a pleasent and inviting aroma. The hoppy taste is definately there and the beer goes down smooth, but definately makes itself known on the way down. A quality beer, standard as it is. I don’t have any real complaints.

When this beer is first poured, it looks and smells like it is going to be a good beer, but the main thing that this beer left after drinking it is the horrible metallic aftertaste. This aftertaste was confirmed by other people who drank this with me. Apparently, if you eat candy and drink this the taste is mitigated, but unless you do that I do not suggest this beer at all. Maybe it was just the sixer that I had, but that is the only way I can rate this beer.
