12 oz bottle: Medium amber w/a lasting thin white head. Aroma is of woody oak and sherry suggesting it’s a little aged. Not surprising from the store that I bought this!!! Lightly toasted bready malt, like lightly toasted wheat bread, but no wheat malt aroma. Given that it’s not a wheat beer, that’s just what it smells like. Pretty clean otherwise. Well balanced, some grainy and doughy bread malt flavors, clean, very little hop flavor, again, given the age it might have been here. Light hints of sherry up front, clean, malty flavor in the semi dry finish w/ a clean short lived aftertaste. I was not a big fan of this beer a few years ago, but it seems not to be growing on me, minus the sherry flavors and aromas.

Oct 5, 2008 Big offwhite lasting head leaves coarse lacing. Reddish amber body. Roasty caramelly aroma with perfumy notes. Dry-sweet dense caramelly malty roasty taste with fruity notes. Sharpish mouthfeel, dense palate. Dry fruity spicy aftertaste with notes of harmonically mixed toffee and grapefruit. Nice, but not major. (0.355l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Oct 4, 2008 Pours a light amber color with a thin white head. Aroma isn’t strong and doesn’t offer much. Taste is honestly similar to Keystone. Nothing special here.

Sep 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 7, 2008~Pours a clear light amber color with nice looking creamy white head.
~Sour straw cheap macro lager scent, perhaps slightly better.
~Taste is definitely better than the scent. Kind of a woodsy oat taste with slight hop bitterness and an oat sweetness. Not bad but a bit harsh in finish.
~Soft feel, but harsh finish.
~I really don’t see anything special about this beer. I wont turn it down if offered to me, but most likely wont buy again.
