Draft at the brewery. Copper color with white head. Not much in the aroma department-- some faint maltiness and underlying bitterness. Flavor is mild caramel malt with some crisp hop bitterness in the finish. A bit watery throughout. Not bad at all, very drinkable, but not a knockout.

Bottle courtesy of golubj; poured an orange amber, small quick diminishing head. Aroma was nice with caramel, toffee and bread. Flavor was of toasted malt, caramel and a slight hop hint. Good mouthfeel; somewhat creamy.

Rating from 3/06. On tap @ DD. Amber color. Caramel, toffee aroma. Taste is caramelly, mild earthy hops, hops mostly for bittering. Not too bad for what it is, a light amber lager.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a flat-but-clear orange-amber colored beverage with a small, creamy, white head that was mostly diminishing but that left good lacing on the glass. The aroma had a light, sweet and fruity fragrance to it. There were notes of caramel with a very light floral hop backdrop. The body was medium with a soft carbonation and a creamy, smooth texture. The flavor started out sweet and stayed that way through the medium-long finish. There was even a slight alcohol warmth in the chest.

@Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-secondary citrus hops. Taste is sweet medium malt-secondary citrus hops. A bit on the sweet side like an Oktoberfest. Mild carbonation.

Bottle. Aroma of bready malt, german hops and malt. The flavor is a little roasted. Mostly noticed the caramel malt, bready malt, and yeast.

On tap at the brewpub. Light copper amber in color with a thin off white head. Aroma is a sweet doughy caramel, but not strongly pronounced. Carbonation level is high making the beer have an unpleasanrt palate when coupled to the thin body. Drinkable, but not memorable.

On tap at the Dillon Dam Brewery & Restaurant. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel, oranges, toasted grains and citrus.

12 oz Bottle via Arctic Liquors Beer of The Month Club. Pours a semi clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is subtle-a bit of toasted grain, some vanilla, and lager yeast. While I am not a fan of the style, this is one of the best i have tasted. It starts with some vanilla, toffee, toasted grains and there is even some fruity esters underneath, some apricot and melon. Light/medium body. Low/moderate carbonation. Very tastey and refreshing. A high quality craft beer that i could easily drink several of.

tap. copper pour rising bubbles, nice white tiny bubble head. aroma grassy, earthy as in many of their beers, burnt malt characteristics. nice crabonation, earthy hiops, sweet caramel malts, mild sourness, med/full body for a lager.
