Poured dark brown with some reddish color. Small tan head and lacing present.
Aroma is of sweet, bready malt and floral hops.
Has a huge sweet malt flavor that is balanced pretty well with bitter hops. Has some fruitiness present and finishes with alcohol warmth.

Cola colored with reddish hue around the edges. Small offwhite head dissipates quickly leaving a ring around the glass.
Aromas of dark fruit, bready malts, molasses and faint alcohol.
Taste is complex and very sweet. Sugary and malty up front, very light on the hops. Figs come through in the aftertaste, faint hint of smoke. Alcohol is pretty well hidden.
Mouthfeel was lighter than expected, very smooth and medium bodied, carbonated perfectly.
All this and then some from....a can! Give it a try! - Jan 26, 2010

Poured a clear amber orange color with a moderate, creamy tan head. Good retention and decent lacing as well.
Overall a very weak aroma. Light citrus hops with caramel malt and fruity notes.
The malt does not have much caramel sweetness, the sweetness that's there is fruity. While the hop bitterness is good it's kind of on the weak side, finishes a little dry.
Smooth, medium bodied and nicely carbonated. Would be easy to put away a six! - Jan 12, 2010

A clear copper colored pour. Nice medium, tan head with fair retention and lacing.
Aroma of citrusy hops up front with dark malt, fruity and spicy notes.
Bready malt taste with caramel sweetness, vanilla notes. Citrus, piny hop bitterness that gets smoothed out by the sweetness of the malt once you get down the glass.
Mouthfeel is smooth with good carbonation. Nice alcohol warmth present and easy enough to drink.
Overall a nice winter warmer to sip. - Jan 11, 2010

Hazy yellow color with small fluffy white head that fell quickly, hardly any lacing.
Aroma is yeasty with wheat malt, coriander and spicy notes.
Wheat, coriander and spices come through in the taste but not much in the way of citrus, interesting blend.
Light, creamy and semi-smooth. Well carbonated and very refreshing. - Jan 4, 2010
