Bottom line is not inspiring and probably last time I would drink this beer. The beer is a hazy orange-amber coloring with a thin film of head. Aroma is flowery, with caramel notes in the background. Overall, the nose was a bit muted, and the flavors seemed a bit watery. Very light bodied beer. There were slightly sour malt flavors with flowery and citrus sweet highlights. Slightly sour, again, on the aftertaste, and a mid-lingering finish. A little weak for the style in terms of body and flavor.

Brilliant amber color/ fleeting head. Nutty, caramel, pine aromas. medium bodied with soft co2. Decent malty sweet bread, nutty caramel flavors.

Poured copper and clear with a decent white head and average lacing. The aroma smelled of infection as did the taste. Thin, harsh mouthfeel. Bad bottle. Need to try again.

Pours a brown amber, with small head. Sweet malt, caramel, citrus, light bread and some hops. Boring and bland.

Bomber. Pours a cherry coke sort of a color. Somewhat sweet malty aroma. A hint of hops as well. Fairly crisp and malty. Good hop character. Somewhat grainy for an amber. Pretty tasty though. I’m glad to see they got rid of that sour cream flavor.

On tap. Creative name. Color was a dirty amber. Aroma was fruity and bready. Flavor was like HI-C punch, which was quite bizarre. Some yeast and mineral water as well. Very strange, but not terrible.

Okay, nothing really to write home about. Subtly hoppy but not over the top. Decent mouthfeel, but underwhelming, just kind of an average decent drinkable, but not noteworthy beer.

A nice looking brew, decent head, malt, slight caramel, Hoped nice for the style, nice drinking brew. Bought bottled at the Alpine Village Euro Market, next to the brewery, so it was probably very fresh.
