(12oz bottle) Medium beige head atop a clear mahogany body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some brown sugar, light nutty. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, nutty, light cherry, burnt. Watery light-medium body with light stickiness.

12oz bottle-pours a white head with amber color. Aroma is malty. Taste is malt, creamy. Nice.

Crystal clear, deep amber lager with a frothy, khaki-colored head. Decent retention. Nice lacing. Malty aroma with notes of maple syrup, honey, kiwi fruit and caramel. Good malty brew with good balance. Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, astringent, dry finish. I'll go against the grain here and say this one is terrific for a lager!

Nice and roasty malt aroma. Really dark amber/brown with a vigorous tan head. Starts quite sweet, and the carbonation is very subdued. There’s an interesting herbal/veg accent I can’t place. Works nicely with the toasted malt flavor. Nice for a change.

On tap. Poured a medium mahogany color with a small off white head. Aromas and tastes of roasted malts. Nutty. Aroma and flavors on the light and subtle side. Flat and thin body.
