UPDATED: JUL 15, 2022 On tap at Swinging Door Exchange. Pours an almost clear medium amber with smallish off-white head. Aroma has bready and caramel malts and some almond.. Taste is slightly sweet with a drier finish. Nothing artificial or off- tasting here. Body is light to medium with a crisp mouthfeel. A decent amber I'm glad to have tried

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2021 Tap on riverfront pop up outside brewery. Great setting. Standard copper pour small head. Nose is faint malt. Tastes of caramel, grains, malt, pennies. Medium bodied.

UPDATED: MAY 19, 2021 Code on the bottle, best by 3L2955. Thanks a bunch. I know exactly what that means. /me rolling my eyes. With a vigorous pour, there's 2 fingers of foam on an amber copper looking fluid. Foam hangs around. Smell has caramel malt and the smell, sorry, of an AAL. You know what I mean. The taste is caramel malt, grainy, some biscuit, hints of roast. Evenly balanced, good thing or not so good thing? Come on, it's an Amber Lager. Similar appearance to say, a Yuengling Traditional Lager. Bitterness level is near non existent. Ok. Good enough light body character. Not bad but not something that I would want to revisit so I will give the other 2 bottles away locally.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2021 12oz bottle. Pours copper with a tiny beige head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, earth, and a little toast. Taste is caramel and a little honey up front followed by oxidation, toasted grain, light earth hops, and a hint of pepper. Light body. Average carbonation. Oily, slightly watery mouthfeel.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2021 12oz bottle from the Lakefront sampler pack and consumed during March Madness with commonshawn and jerseyguy. Amber in color. Minimal head. Aroma is muted but picking up caramel and toffee notes. Taste stays true to the amber style. Malt takes center stage with caramel and light toast characteristics. Lingering slightly sweet finish. A good fall seasonal option.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2021 Bottle with commonmac and jerseyguy during March madness. Mahogany with small white head. Sweet grain malt nose. Taste is what expected, in a good way. Malty throughout, no bitterness. A nice change of pace in an ipa world.

UPDATED: FEB 24, 2021 The rate at which rate beer is losing reviews is increasing. The aromas are malt, caramel, with a bit of fruit and minerals. Flavors are like nose, a bit sweet up front with a nice balance of carbonation and bitter. Decent example of the beer style.

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2021 I like the way the flavors are blended together. Fruity flavors that are not too strong but still in a nice tight body. Good one!
