22oz bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of grains, biscuits, ritz crackers (or is it that because I just ate some), and some citrus. Tastes of the same.

355 ml bottle. At Coney Island Brewing Co, Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. Clear amber colour with small tan head. Piney resiny hops in aroma. Raisins, sweet fruit and malt in flavour. Very drinkable and tasty lager. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Cricket’s, Waco, TX
Pours an average amber with a nose of autumn leaves and biscuit. Flavor is leafy vinegar biscuit. Average mouthfeel. Meh.

Presentation: Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into mug Appearance: Pours a clear copper color with a decent foamy head that provides minimal lacing. Aroma: Bready with some herbal hops, metal (steel/copper). Taste: Sweet toasted malt and mild caramel notes paired with citrus and herbal hops. Texture: Smooth and dry with medium body and good carbonation. Drinkability: Decent Lager to add to the rotation, but difficult to find here.

Aroma primarily of sweet caramel, with just a touch of pine. Great clarity, it’s amber orange with a small amount of cream colored head. The flavor is lightly medicinal, a great balance of sweet and bitter with a medium-lingering finish. It’s a full-bodied, full flavored lager, a little darker than most. Great brew.

Bronze body is clear. Light toast and caramel malt. Not much in the way of hops I’m the atoms or flavor.

12 oz bottle from the sampler case. All the advertising hype got to me so I bought the case only to find this mediocre lager in the quantity of six (five more than I wanted after tasting) Runs to the bitter with nothing remarkable to note. Save your dollars and invest elsewhere.

Dark amber with a small off-white head. Small lacing. Malt and grassy aroma. medium sweetness, lightly bitter. Complex hop flavors. Subtle bitter lingering finish.

Quite a good little lager...kind of like Brooklyn Lager, but not as good. A crisp and refreshing malt character with a flavorful hop aroma and flavor profile. Overall, a light tasting beer with enough edge so I’ll actually drink it.

Dark, clear amber with a frothy off-white head. Lacing is fairly heavy. Aroma of grass, caramel, bread, and flowers. Taste is malty and moderately bitter. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
