Dec 28, 2005 Pours a little darker than the Golden lager. Aromas of roast malts, a touch of hops. Flavor is mellow roast malt with a hint of hops.

Mar 9, 2004 Bottle (many, 2001-2). As regular Black Star (Golden Lager) faded into the skunky sunset, this became a more viable choice in cheap ($3/6-pack), easily quaffed local beer. A surprising cascade punch in this amber lager, amber malts smooth out the falvor for a touch of balance. Has a paper pulp aftertaste that is unsettling. Not an attractive amber darkness, sort of green at the edges, slight head. A bit sweet, cloying when warm. I think I wrote these comments in reverse order.

Aug 7, 2002 Fairly decent I enjoy it more than the golden lager, more flavor, a slight bit of hops, which gives it a nice touch. Not too bad.

does not count  Apr 12, 2002 This is a good beer for the money (less than Bud in Gardiner, MT), and a decent beer at any price. I’ve certainly had more expensive beers that weren’t as good.
