This is an inexpensive but yet fabulous tasting brew! It is a lighter crisp tasting beer with fruity overtones and good taste. It tastes sort of like a cross between a Killians Red and a Sam Adams Boston Lager. I get great reviews from both homebrewers and non homebrewers. It is by far my most requested beer!
