COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Aviator Amber Lager was originally made exclusively for Mike Ashford's McGarvey's Restaurant in Annapolis, Maryland. The beer is a European Export style. The rich malty flavor is gently balanced with fine, delicate hops. Two-row Pale, Munich, Caramel 20 and 40 lovibond malts are used in this brew. Aviator is fermented at 48F and then at 56F. The beer is then lagered at 31 degrees for 4 weeks before filtration.

UPDATED: AUG 24, 2003 Light brass colored body with a thin white head. Very thin and clear looking. Aroma smells of clean malt and is faint. Taste is unbalanced with about 75% sweet malt and 25% bitter, grapefruit hops. Metallic finish. All in all, far below what I'd expected. Just a normal amber. Sampled on tap at the Dominion Brewpub in Ashburn, VA.

Living in Annapolis, I have enjoyed numerous Aviators with raw clams, oysters, wings and the late great catfish sandwish at McGarvey’s. Nice beer unqiue to that pub, a little light for me but nice nonetheless.
