Picked one of these up at Publix where they had a bunch of singles lying around. Pours a really pretty orange/red, sunset, rusty type color, clear, but with very little head and no lacing. The color is really quite lovely, though.

Nose is light and fruity, with strawberry type scents coming through, and lightly malty. Nothing big or special, but pleasing nonetheless. Taste is much less fruity, and much more malty. There are some nice toasty flavors coming through. It finishes with a slightly displeasing sourness though, not awful, just unexpected and a bit off putting.

Mouthfeel is okay, not too watery, but not very chewy, either. Still, it's bubbly enough to be pleasant. As for drinkability, I imagine this would be nice in the summer, very cold, and according to other reviews, probably smoother on tap. Not an awful beer at all- if you can find it cheap, and it's hot out, give it a try.

Beer of the Conch Republic: an American Amber Ale with 2-row and caramel malts and First Gold, Chinook, and Mount Hood hops. Pours a dark amber with a thin white head. Caramel and sweet corn flakes under a fresh floral grass aroma. A sweet caramel flavor dominates backed by floral grassy hops and corn taste. Seems too carbonated. Kind of meh, a below average amber ale.
