COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The brew is a tribute to the Chautauqua Lake Region of western New York. There was a time when brewers dotted the landscape over which eagles soured. Today two have returned. Specially brewed for the citizens of our fine county; this beer will not be sold anywhere but here. Inspired by the former Jamestown Brewing Company, defunct now for seventy-five years, this beer is brewed with only the finest ingredients and warranted strictly pure.

HogTownHarry (4809) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - SEP 6, 2010
12oz bottle. Hazy light gold, smallish frothy white head. Aroma of scorched honey and dry straw-like bitterness. Taste follows, not scorched, nice cereal grain and lightly acidic/herbal hoppiness (7-). Average body, light carbonation, a bit slick and chewy, quick-finishing .... fairly dull, but not bad, goes down easy, no ugly aftertaste.

blankboy (4287) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 24, 2010
Bottle [12oz] courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear, bubbly gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma of grain, honey, corn, bready malt and a light vegetal note. Flavour’s clean, which is good, but also quite dull, which is not so good. Taste’s grainy along with bready malt, a light sweetness and some very light hops in the finish. Average bodied. Meh, not my thing at all, it’s a relatively well made lawnmower Lager and I’m glad I got the rating but it’s not something I’d buy to drink.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Grainy malty aroma, light sweetness, light hops. The flavor also has grainy malt, with some light caramel sweetness and a hint of floral hops. Not bad.

swoopjones (3258) - Buffalo, New York, USA - MAY 9, 2007
On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY a while ago. Was told this was made for the Southern Tier of NY & North West PA to combat Yeungling. Nothing real special like Yeungling. Caramely malty amber. Nothing great but nothing bad. I think thay accomplished their goal

Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Very mild malty aroma. Mild malty, sweetish flavour. No hops to speak of. Waterish. Not very original or imaginary.

cbkschubert (2685) - Cochise Co., Arizona, USA - NOV 16, 2007
22 oz. bottle my mother-in-law brought back from NY - Pours a very slighlty hazy light golden color with a one and a half finger thick white head. Very light, tiny bubbled carbonation. No lacing to speak of. Aroma is soapy with light grain and light esters. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain and light fruity esters. Light to medium body. Nothing fancy, but worth a try. Not sure if I want to drink the whole bottle.

Bockyhorsey (2590) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - JUL 15, 2008
Bomber courtesy of cbkschubert. Corn and somewhat skunky aroma took me by surprise seeing bottle stated it was an amber ale. Yellow body with white head. Wet maled corn swill flavor that had a mediun bitter bite. Cool bottle with the big eagle on it.
