Commercial Description:
True to J.J. Wainwright's original recipe, we brew this special all-malt beer using roasted barley malt to impart an amber-toned color and a full rich flavor. We balance the rich malt flavor with the delicate aroma of his unique blend of imported and domestic hops.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Nice amber colur, almost no head. Soft, lightly sweet malty notes of caramel making this a bit more interesting than the average American lager. Not that bad.

(bottle) Pours a dark golden brown with a decent sized white head. Very oddly sweet aroma; reminds me a bit of applesauce. Slightly sweet flavor that goes away quickly and leaves no aftertaste. Extremely watery for a lager. Tastes like a light beer.

This has "CHEAP BEER" written all over it... and I should have known by the price! I guess it's "You get what you pay for." This beer is watery yellow, smells cheap, tastes cheaper, feels cruddy going down, and makes you hand these out when someone comes to visit (either that our pour it into a glass and tell them it's something else). Not gonna retry this one!

Golden brown color much darker than most American-style lagers. Very thin head. Light to medium bodied. Nose is slightly sweet. What would be light, refreshing flavor is weighed down by a slightly earthy, metallic bitterness in the finish.

The use of roasted barley really does make this lager amber-colored, which comes as a surprise. It lacks much hop bite but rather is fairly sweet and watery. Not complex at all.
