UPDATED: JUL 29, 2008 Dark copper pour with minimal off-white head. Aroma is hops, brown sugar, caramel malt, with a caramel malty flavor, and some mid-palate brown sugary, toffee, and hop notes. Not terrible, but not a beer I’d probably have again.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark amber to copper color with a diminished off white to beige head. Scents of caramel, light brown sugar, dark corn syrup and hint of sweet herbal hops. Sweet malt and grain start, Perhaps a touch of sour mash, but a bit of a reach. Actually I think I’d like to distill this (if legal). because it is just another amber as is. Some light hints of hops in the finish and linger. Actually coming from LaX, not bad.

Very surprised by the lack of skunk, considering the clear bottle. Pours a clear amber with quickfading white head. Interesting flavor, i suppose that comes form the sour mashing? A little grainy in the finish. Cheap and interesting, worth a try, but not gonna be a regular in my fridge.

Apple cider with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, nuts, toffee and toasted malt. Flavors include fruit, toffee, toasted malt and nuts. A shade astringent and the flavors are a bit weak but a lot better than expected considering the packaging it came in.

12oz bottle from Keg N Bottle in Isla Vista. Ten bucks for a 24 pack, and definitely better than other offerings around this price. Amber with a plentiful white head. Sour and caramel aroma is a little odd and not too pleasing. The flavor is like a light lager with some caramel syrup poured in to make it sweet and a little cloying. No hops to pull that sweet sugar in line. Light and syrupy body that sticks to the back of your tongue. This is pretty bad, but much better than la crosse light.

Clear amber color. Decent off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma with some sour. Tastes quite plain with some cloying sweetness, but it could be worse.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a three finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer, leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Malty nose. Flavor is sweet bourbon and caramel, unusual lager, hops are in the background. Label has this brewed by the Naked Lion Brewing Co and their web site is nakedlion.com. $1.50 for a 12oz clear bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT
