a draft pour at the Cape Ann Alehouse. Light clear yellow. Nose of light malts and good fruit. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is malts and light hops. Good bitter finish. Excellent for the style.

Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells of some strawberries, hay, some earthiness. Tastes of citrus, nutty, some caramel, some peppery hints. Finish is lasting and sweet.

Poured a darker golden color with a huge head. ARoma was a sweet caramel and earthyness to it. Flavor was very earthy some citrus in there grapefruit little teabag flavor. Not bad

12 oz bottle **Summary** - An interesting beer that I picked up while on the East Coast I cracked this open to get things started one night. I almost wish I had picked up a full sixer as it would be have fine on its own. The style percentage is pretty accurate with this one - check it out if you like inexpensive quality beers. **Aroma / Appearance** - Thin chunks of white foam bobbed above an amber brown very fluid body. Rye toast and clean malts infused it with life but not aggressiveness. **Flavor / Palate** - Toast with a light spread of raspberry jam fills the mouth. Fading fast the only hint left after a few seconds is a wet bitterness on the back of the throat. Reminding me of sugar cookies this was a smooth easy going beer that would be perfect for almost any occasion.

Biscuit malts with spicy hops in the aroma and flavor. Toasted malt is pretty strong in the flavor with a light fruity note, too. Decent amber lager, though I’ve never been a big fan of the style.

Golden pour with hints of red. Light head and lace. Nice caramel malt aroma. Sweet start with a hint of cherriness. A hint of hop bitter on the end. Thin and a bit watery, decent carbonation. Not bad more like an amber ale than at PL.

(Tap) Pours an amber color with a full white head. Malty aroma, with caramel and some spice. Taste is somewhat similar, with a light roasted character. Nice hoppy bite in the aftertaste leaves a pleasant dry finish. Nice mouthfeel and great balance. I really enjoyed this one, and would consider it one of the better session beers I had on my trip.

I haven’t called a premium lager impressive yet, but this one truly is. Nice malty aroma with that tell-tale lager smell in the back. Pour was a beautiful clear amber with a one finger off white head. Flavor was big and full (especially for such a low ABV beer). Toasted malt filled the mouth with a slight biscuit and caramel flavor. Just a slight hoppiness in the aftertaste. Not bitter, just balancing. Nice beer!

Very nice dark amber pour...medium white head. A nice balance of hops and malt with a good mouthfeel and a lingering bitterness. I would have this guy again.

This brew has a dark golden color. Aroma is of sweeter malts, hops, and caramel. Taste is basically the same. Has a sweeter malt aftertaste. Not too bad.
