Bryan's Notes
The Look:
- slightly cloudy, brownish-orange color
- what little head there was disappeared in an instant
The Aroma:
- sweet, malty aroma
The Taste:
- slight bitterness
- slight sweetness
- slight carbonation
The Verdict: - Slightly below average. It starts off as inviting to the nose and the front of the mouth, but then loses any momentum quickly and whithers away to nothing.

Adam's Notes
The Look:
- copper
- small head thinning to thin ring with islands
The Aroma:
- quite sweet and a bit hoppy
The Taste:
- sweet like the nose
- couldn't drink too many of these
- not really super hoppy, but, hops are there
The Verdict: Eh...pretty typical of their beer. Nothing to write home about.
