On draught January 2005 at Redbones. Deep brown/chestnut color, with amber highlights, lightly hazy, with a smattering of beige head. Aroma of sweet brown malts, sticky caramel, and then some fruity hops. Tastes quite sweet, but there is a good dose of yeast in there, which really brings out some earthy, alt-like flavors. Pretty sweet though, not as bad as Heavyweight’s Stickenjab, but up there. Pungent and fruity, with light bitterness from the hops. Some ash and dry barley. Medium body, pretty drinkable, low to moderate carbonation. Good stuff, but I don’t think they would fool any die-hards in the alt region of Germany.

Jul 15, 2008 Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with light notes of hops and brewmash. The flavor is sweet matly with light notes of brewmash. Somewhat boring.

Jun 5, 2008 Well it is what it is, nothing exciting here, just an average everday take on an amber, which is never really an exciting style to begin with. Imagine this, it has an amber coloring in the pour, with a small white soda head. Very thin caramel maltiness, with just a hint of honey and some bittering citrus hops in the finish. Boring.

Dec 20, 2007 Sample at GABF 2007. Amber in color with a sheen of an off-white head only. Mild caramel aroma. Thin in body. Nondescript in its thin nuttiness and malt sweetness. An adequate amber.

Dec 18, 2007 From a 22-oz bottle and at Brewery in PDX--Poured a mild amber body with a moderate white head. Rich malty sweet nose and flavor. Crispy and finished quite grainy. Good stuff.

Amber in color with a thin head. This had a rich dark malt aroma and flavor. I liked the malts used and the underlying hops that where coming out. This was a decent brew.
