Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bornze with an airy/foamy head of just the right size. Feint malt and spice in the aroma. This lager has an easy moughtfeel with malt touches here and there. Rather nondescript in its malt flavor. Smooth, but a bit flat. An unspectacular beer, but could probably amass broad appeal to unrefined palates.
Skunked as Hell. I did drink it at room temp. Fizzy, yellow, immediate nasty burps. More interesting (although I not sure better) than Budmillercoors.
This beer mostly gets its points for smell. Smells very hoppy. Tastes very hoppy. I didnt really like it much.
