Pours a very nice amber color with small light tan head. The aroma is mild maltiness, with a solid hop presence. The flavor is similar, the sweet malts are the initial flavor, ending with the hops. There are also hints of a home brewed flavor. In my opinion this is a tough style of beer to master and this is a decent amber.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle 221FX08. Pours clear amber/red with beige head. Smells a bit like a lager (German hops). Initial thought on taste was this is an English ale. Malty more than bitter (low IBU). Some caramel, some butterscotch. It is fairly clean by the standards of an ale. Not a bad beer, but why claim it’s a a lager.
