hopdog (4444), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA May 13, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with kyzr (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy golden color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of caramel and overall buttery. Tastes of caramel, buttery, and toasted malts.
Shag (1750), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA May 26, 2008 Not much to say about this one. A copper color with a malty aroma. I detect some vanilla in the flavor with a bready caramel presence. A hint of citrus in it. Slight sugary presence. Ok to sink em but dont think em. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA May 25, 2008 Date: 05/11/2008

DuffMan (1888), Calgary, Alberta, Canada May 22, 2008 Bottle. Light amber, brief white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Spritzy, sweet caramel palate with a faint ginger ale quality that I didn’t like. Disappointing. CaptainCougar (4601), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 11, 2008 Pours a transparent orange amber with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt with a touch of caramel and light fruits. Starts lightly sugary sweet with a touch of piny bittering hops before a crisp, bittersweet finish. A pretty drinkable, decent amber lager.
