On tap @ Bodega: Pours a clear copper with a white head. Aroma, grassy, fruits, yeasty notes, grains. Flavor, caramel, earthy notes, some toffee, toasted notes. Some grassy hops, sweet finish. Better than I thought it would be.

May 1, 2008 On tap @ Mulholland. Was not marked as a Bear Republic beer, just "El Oso Mexican Lager". This beer was surprisingly tasty. Very fresh aroma of blueberry (imitation blueberry, but blueberry nonetheless) and malt. Crisp, refreshing, and noticeable dry hop character. Reminded me of a Dortmunder with a fruity finish. Would not guess this was a Mexican beer at all.

Apr 26, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Copper color, white head. Flavor is straightforward lager, more of a "safe" brew than most at Bear Republic, nothing noteworthy. No harm, no foul. .

Apr 6, 2008 On tap at HDG. Deep clear amber in color with a little white head. Sweet caramel malty aroma. Hoppy notes. Malty and grainy flavor. Sweet tasting. Crisp and refreshing. Medium bodied. Finish is clean and crisp. Nice beer. Drinkable.

Mar 27, 2008 Tap at Hop Devil. Fairly dark yellow, somewhat transparent. Nose is lightly sweet, toast, pickle, sage. Not much character. A touch of sweetness in the palate is nice, maybe. Or it may suck. Hard to decide. This isn’t very good or very drinkable. Could be cleaned up a lot.
