16 oz can courtesy of Todd - thanks man! Beautiful, simple, amber pour with a little chill haze. Head is perfect. Some minor lace. The head fades quite quickly. Drinks like a classy, full-flavored, beautifully sweet and balanced Vienna Lager. I’m...
This is a ruse, right? It's Yuengling, marketed by Rolling Rock, surely? Even if that's not the case, in a nutshell, this is still Yuengling. I'm generally not in the habit of dismissing beers with such an apparent lack of reflection and thought,...
12 oz single, many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this. Pour offers a strangely red tinge to the beer with plenty of white head. The color goes beyond amber and to another level. Nose offers little, but the tastes do deliver a touch...
On tap Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA. Nice clarity and good dark copper color on the pour. Head is small but provides some lace. Nose faithfully creates some decent if simple, toasty malt. Tastes deliver the expected malt notes but the beer also...
12 oz single from Tower on Buford. Nice depth of color on the pour, but the carbonation seems a little too lively for the style which in turn produces a scant, over-bubbly head and no lace. A shame because the color looked promising. It quickly...
Beeradvocate Review #1700 - not exactly a distinguished brew to mark the milestone, but so what? 12 oz single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. "Born On" May 31 2008. Pour yields a decent golden body but not much head. Some minimal lace -...
22oz bomber, $4.99 from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. As all have noted a bizzaro, Ribena colored body and a pink head. Head hangs around a little but not much lace. HAS to get a "5" for appearance (exceptional), not necessarily for the...
Unexpectedly came across this at Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, USA. Think it was about $4 for the 22oz bomber. Crazy label in line with Shmaltz off the wall marketing. Pour is a simple, but nicely clear amber body with some good soapy head and...
Had this on tap twice on a recent visit to Greensboro, NC - once in Old Town, and once at Smokey Bones. Pretty simple and drinkable brew that lacks the dry bite of a true amber/red, but certainly has more taste than a simple pale ale. Drinks above...
On-tap, Mellow Mushroom, Hilton Head Island, SC, USA. Better than average AB product, poorer than average Amber Ale (which for me is what it most closely resembles). Standard pour with a decent color but as usual head and lace are basically...
Single 12 oz bottle from Trader Joe's, $1.00. Nice amber color, good head and decent sticky lace. Good carbonation. Very surprised, but a decently balanced Amber, malty up front, but with a true amber, drier, hoppier finish. Perhaps a tad thin in...
Dark orange color with a small head with some scant lacing. Sweet and sour flavors come through strong. Some very sweet malts initially and a pleasingly bitter finish. A slight metallic grapefruit aftertaste that is not really bad at all. In no way...
I don't think this is correctly categorized, but there you are. If it really has no adjuncts in it, I would say it drinks MUCH more like a low quality Pilsner. Pours exactly as a standard adjunct lager would, with a typical golden color. However,...
A very simple beer that barely out-performs a macro. The color is obviously more attractive than BMC, but the head (virtually non-existent), the serving temperature (too often Arctic temperatures) and the tastes (muted to say the least) all...
Note 01/10 I have a feeling that this used to be categorized on BA as a Vienna Lager but now falls under the American Amber/Red banner. This is certainly in line with what Brooklyn says about the beer, and the dry-hopping does seem to lend a...
$5.99 Six Pack, Publix Supermarket, Villa Rica, Ga, USA. Another beer that falls into the, "When I want cheap domestic, I'd definitely pick this up instead of macro adjunct lager swill, but other than that it's very average and poor compared to...
Typically macro in a number of ways; head retention (zero), fizzy carbonation, light mouthfeel and body, Looks better than average with a nice amber color. The honey taste in is evidence upfront, although I would not necessarily be able to discern...
Guess what? This Amber lager is...well....amber in color. The appearance is average with some head and lacing, but only after a quite aggressive pour. This stuff is very drinkable, with the only slight let down being a average mouthfeel - a little...
Oh dear. This may be the most flat, uninteresting beer I've ever drunk. It looks EXACTLY like iced-tea, with a cloudy, orange hue and absolutely no head or carbonation despite an aggressive pour. Aroma is non-existent and the taste, well, watery...
$3.96 for "small", 16oz serving at Smokey Bones Sports Bar & Grill, Douglasville, GA, USA. When hunting around the USA for just about drinkable macros, this would be one that I would pick up simply becasue it was the most drinkable and tasty of a...
