This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy softly carbonated orange brown colored body. The aroma was malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The thick flavor contained notes of dark malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

some nice aromas .. from light pine to apple .. an ok brew .. but lacks any complexity ..strange flavours, worse as it warms ..a decent lager but nothing at all special..the label will get ya...

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

Bottle. Amber colored pour. Tall foamy off-white head. Nose is caramel, soft citrus, light earthy and floral hops, some spicy notes and toasted malt. Taste is caramel, sweet malts, fruit flavors (mostly citrus but a hint of pear in there), spicy and earthy hops, light floral notes and some nuttiness. The body on this is a bit chewy for a vienna with a moderate carbonation and a medium overall feel. Ends with more caramel, sweet malts, fruit notes, peanuts, spicy and floral hops and bready notes.

St. Petersburg, Fl. - Shep’s Deli - 22 oz bomber. Medium copper colored pour with a bubbly, airy white head. Not much of an aroma, a hint of fresh lake water and some graininess. Hint of bittersweetness in the flavor with some mild nutty flavors, a hint of caramel and a touch of bland lager. Nothing offensive here - just does not set my world on fire. Clean, even mouthfeel. Mark this one as average. Unlike other Coney Island brews this one does not sport a phallic symbol....unless I just do not "get" the smiling circus guy.

Citrus hops blend nicely with rich toasty, bready, biscuity malt character in the nose along with a touch of cabbage. Hazy deep amber coloured body is topped by a decent, fizzy, tan head that recedes rapidly to a lasting cover. Fairly sweet up front with some citrus and floral hops and moderate, offsetting bitterness. Sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. Medium light body feels a bit thin and carbonation is underwhelming, Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Jul-09.

That label...Man, that’s just good old fashioned nightmare fuel right there. Copper, with a decent sized head. Grainy, rye-ish aroma. Some malty notes at first, then a few smokey, peaty notes. very clean tasting. Would be a pretty good summer beer. Thanks to Springslicker for sharing this one at Stevofest!

Big bottle and a small bottle. Dark copper tinted amber with almost a finger of white-ish foam. They pack a lot of ingredients into some of these beers. Kind of a cedary woody malt scent. Lots of spice, caramel, nut, wood and biscuit with a lasting hop aftertaste. Pretty solid.

Bottle. Amber colour with a good creamy head. Citrus hops, especially orange. Citrus meets toffee flavours, some hints of metal. Thirst-quenching.

22oz Bomber
A light golden yellow color with a thick head. This was a pleasant lager to drink had some good charatcers and great flavors. Liked the beers underlying spicy flavor and finished quite nice.
