One of the better amber lagers i have had. Metallic malt smell. Body is really nice, thin but good balt flavor. Smooth hop finish that leaves a nice dryness on the palate with out taking to much control. This is a well crafted lager.

Amber body with small, vanishing, white head. Aroma is slightly nutty, some caramel. Taste is lagerwise, but too hoppy for my european taste. Refreshing, well made, but not my cup of tea

Distinct amber color that refreshes the palate with a simple lager style. Provides an accessible drinking experience. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not my favorite, but I had to try it. It is a well crafted beer, just not my favorite style(s) amber/steam beer. Anyway, it looks great, brown amber color with fluffy head. Aroma is caramel burlap. Taste is Caramelly, malty, hay, bread. Overall good beer for a hybrid style amber, but I didnt love it just because its not my fav. type/style of beer.

Gedronken in de Boterhal, Breda. Zoete aanzet, bijna grenadinemet een flinke bittere nasmaak. Een aparte mout toon die het biertje erg interessant maakt.

Bottled. Pours clear amber in color with frothy long-lasting tan head. Light nuttyness mostly in aroma, some fudge and light hints of perfume perhaps too. Same nuttyness in taste. Not that great, felt a bit dull somehow when there wasn’t that much variation after all and the taste didn’t feel that fresh.
