Jun 10, 2006 I hesitate to call it a well crafted amber lager but I feel it deserves to be. Pours a wonderful deep red with a dissapointing head. The flavors are rich full of sweet malts. These wonderful flavors need to stand out more and give me a good kick.

Jun 10, 2006 Bright amber color with medium tan head that lingers thru half glass and good lacing. Aroma was apples and bananas, with a hint of grapes. Initial flavor was the fruits, some hops and malt. At mid-glass, taste became more malty, and alcohol, though only 6.2 ABV, was more noticeable. A good smooth warming finish. I had heard there were freshness and dating questions with these Great Lakes Brews, but I’ve had no complaints so far with this or Dortmunder.

Jun 9, 2006 Thanks again to doulos for this one. Poured a deep orange color with a very small head and just about no lacing. The aroma was bready, sweet malts. Typical for the style, but weak. The flavor followed on this theme and also had a light spicing to it. Mouthfeel was thick and approached almost that of a maibock.

Jun 8, 2006 Roasty smell, pours to a beautiful carmel color. Complex taste of roasted grains, with a nice, hoppy finish. Probably the best amber I’ve had.
