3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: NOV 18, 2007 A nice amber microbrew from Missoula Montana. Not outstanding, but very drinkable. Not a strong aftertaste....Calories est.: 165-180.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregon. Pours a semi-clear caramel amber brew with a very fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a bubbly ring with a thin film on top of brew. Aroma of light bread dough, some roasted caramel malt, flowery hops, aand some grits. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with a good balance of malty caramel grain and citrus bitter flavor. Finish is slightly metalic, and then a semi-sweet malty flavor with some slight bitterness after the finish.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma of grassy hop and medium malt. Light amber color, with a white head that quickly departed. Starts lightly sweet, develops medium mouthfeel as the carbonation leaves, gets a bit sweeter, then finally develops a little hop in the finish. Sort of a maltier version of Bayern Pilsener
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Slightly oxidized taste, bready and toasty, stronger on the malts, a departure from the NW ambers. Very smooth in the body, but the oxidized flavor makes it feel thin on the palate. Pours dark copper with a soft beige head.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft pint shared with my wife at the brewery taproom. Dark golden with a quickly surrendering head. This almost has the aroma of apple cider. It drinks much smoother, mellowly malty with just a mild orchard-like bitter finish. Nice light amber lager. (#2930, 5/19/2007)

12oz btl thanks to kyzr. An orange amber pour with almost no head. An aroma of some fruitness, malt and wet paper. A slightly sweet start with some bitter finish. I get a hint of appleness in the flavor as well. It even seems to have a bit of warmth. Good carbonation and a decent palate. Overall a surprising beer. Better than expected.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled with stegosaurus. Pours a amber color with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malts, corn, and grass. Flavor is malty with a hint of hops and is a bit thin.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark gold pour with very little head. Sweet malty aroma, with hints of grain. Flavor is very malty and body is rather light. Finish seems to lack that little punch.
