Stupid beer! as i was taking a pic of this brew for the beer sites, my camera slipped, and i dropped the bitch and the screen busted, fuck! .. So this beer will will have to drown my sorrows .. . Pours a dark tan, with amazing head (which actually overflowed all over my side table) .. . aroma is not all that good, dusty and brown .. . Um... is it right to buy a Chrysler? .. . very smooth stuff, taste of light grain, caramel and nuts .. . A pretty nice brew, and quite a well made example of the style .. . Hello. Hello? Anybody there? What’s this, I hear the phone ring, and suddenly there’s nothing. I’m listening and there’s no talking. Hello, mister, who are you? Why would they call if they don’t want to talk to you?

Hood River, Or - on tap at the brewpub after the excellent tour. Dark amber pour, off-white head, thick lacing. Worty aroma with some fruity accents. Flavor has a hint of caramel, some bubble gum, some nutty notes. Thick enough mouthfeel.

12 ounce bottle from the Utah State Store on Foothill. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet caramel and dusty fruit. a smooth sweet flavor of caramel, some candied fruit, strawberries, very mellow and tasty. A nice brew.

12oz Bottle – Gravity Beer Market - Olympia, WA
Amber in color, clear with a thin head. Sweet malt aroma with light hops backing. Tasty malt flavor fruit esters with light hops. Very tasty beer. Full Sail is doing great beers here.

poured a deep amber with a cream head. nose is sweet malts, bread, light fruits, and crisp. slightly roasted malts, dough, faint hops in the back with a smooth finish.

Okay, so number 4 was a slight misstep in an otherwise solid run - this one finds the brewers back in good form - nose is initially sweet, with notes of caramelized sugars - a bit of toasted grain and a touch of hops sit atop some fairly rich maltiness - full in the mouth - somewhat creamy texture - malty without being very sweet - just a hint of caramel up front and a bit of nutty character - a bit of toastiness arrives as the beer dries out, making way for some peppery hops on the tail end - a slight warming spiciness - simultaneously malty and slightly crisp - well done.

Pour out of 12 oz bottle, did not know it was a vienna style...dark reddish brown pour with thin white head, aroma has notes of dark roasted nuts, some hints of caramel, toffee, touch of biscuit, earthy notes, slight crisp and grassy hops, hints of earthy grain and husky notes. Taste is sweet caramel, toffee, hints of earthy grain, nice snappy grass and spicy hops, finishing fairly sweet, slightly bitter.

12 ounce bottle - $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-amber body with two fingers worth of off-white foam. Smell: Sweetish bready-scented pale malts, touches of caramel, lightly toasted nuts, and even a tiny hint of chocolate. Secondary scent of slight fruitiness. Taste: Sweet, lightly nutty, lightly caramelized maltiness on the fore. Slightly fruity, hinting of candied berries. Mild, earthy-toned hops with a low bitterness barely making its presence known, keeping this a malt-forward brew. Very small hint of grains. Sweetish, malty finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: I’ll be honest, it’s a skosh reminiscent of Magic Hat’s Vinyl, which is certainly fine, as I enjoyed that one as well. A mighty tasty malty red lager.
