Again, thanks to Skyview. Copper color with a thin head. Carmel aroma with something a little like bubblegum. The taste is almost chocolate, with very dark bread. Quite nice.

Appearance: Pours a clear, gem-quality amber body topped by a small, white head that bubbles out fairly quickly. Smell: Aroma of toasted barley and a spicy, floral hop character. Taste: Toasty maltiness, a hint of a grain, and a touch of sugary, caramel sweetness. Spicy, floral hop character remains light, as is any hop bitterness. Lightly sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Sure, it’s no GL Eliot Ness, but it’s good enough for a little, unassuming amber lager.

Nice caramel nose. Dark brown body with faint hop nose. A wonderful grainy body with hints of caramel. Thanks again to Skyview for sharing!

This isn’t bad at all but not malty enough to be a Vienna. Like the export, it is very well carbonated. Amber in color and a little sweet with unprocessed grain.

Bottle. Pours a thin head over a copper brew. Clean and sharp on the tongue, malty in the glass and the nose. Bright, but thin, well bittered with English hops (IMO). An OK beer, but not memorable. I thought these beers were being brewed in Madison and bottled by Grays, but that is not what the bottle says.

Had this the other night on tap at Jonny Delmonico’s in Madison. Light caramel aroma. Dark amber in appearance with an inch tall head. Flavor is fairly abrupt, some might call it "clean." Quick bit of caramel and then a touch of grassy hops in the finish. Light body and a nice creamy-watery texture. Not too exciting, but not bad.

A 12-oz bottle picked up at Bob’s McFarland Liquors in McFarland, WI. Pours a brownish amber brew with a small fast dissolving white head. Lots of carbonation in the glass. Aroma of pitted fruit, roasted barley malt, and llight caramel. Taste is very carbonated, light bodied, with some grass-like hops in the finish. Finish is light, a little watery and a hint of bitterness. I like this one over the Fauerbach Export. Happy to see another historical brewery making a comeback after a 40 year absence.

Pours deep amber with a slight head and slight lacing. Smells of malts and apricots, and light hops. Finishes well with smooth aftertaste. Good flavor just not a lot of flavor. Good for a lager

This beer pours a semi clear amber colour with a large frothy head. A light mouthfeel, that does taste with soft malted feel. Starts sweet and finishes bitter. Has a distinct caramel flavor.
