3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 JAF737300 (1219) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 29, 2007
This dark lager pours reddish and offers a nice feeling of sweet malt. This malt then gives way to the hops that allow for a nice crisp balanced finish.

Sample from tap at the brewpub in Canal street. Pours red with a light brown/off-white head. Toffee caramel malty aroma. Flavour is malty, slight yeasty, minor metallic note. Good hoppiness blending in with the toffee malt.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Dogbrick (4828) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JUN 27, 2007
Sample at Beer Works Fenway: Pours a clear light amber color with a thin light khaki head that dissipates rapidly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of crystal malts and a bit of hops. Light body with a sweet malt flavor offset by hops. The finish is creamy and sweet with not much aftertaste. Overall I am firmly in the "Where’s the fire?" column.

(Canal St. Location) Camamel flavors. Very sweet tasting. Hops blended in. Not 9-alarmy at all... not on fire, certainly. Very relaxing. Light copper color.

Amber golden color, I was told this was actually a bottom-fermented brew. Some bitterness of finish, and some flavor, but only marginally more than the general urine-yellow lagers.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Gregory (357) - Pullman, Washington, USA - APR 23, 2002
Very different beer. IT’s called an amber, but it really tastes like something between an ale and a belgian white. Creamy palate, but very strange spice in the flavor. Not a big fan
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 11/20 Merc (313) - Pullman, Washington, USA - APR 23, 2002
Cask Conditioned. Cloudy dun brown appearance with a huge beautiful head. Head had texture of whipped cream and stayed for the whole beer, leaving thick lacing. Highlighted the creamy palate overall. Interesting spicy aroma. On first taste, a very intersting beer. Still spicy, fruity, with a fairly bitter finish. Couldn’t keep it up though. A harsh minerally water taste came through, the bitterness lost its edge, and became very bland. Recomended purely for the palate.
