Clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma of toasty malts, fruits, light yeast, and a bit of molasses. Thin, overly carbonated body. What happened to the toasted malts in the flavor? Not much going on here. A bit of grains, really light toast, and maybe some light fruit. A let down.

16th August 2008. Clear amber coloured lager. Malty start, much more malt than a pale lager. The malt is also quite sweet. Finishes crisp with some mild hop presenting. Basically a malty lager!

Pours amber-red with a fluffy off-white head. Spicy-floral hop aroma. Taste is much like the aroma, floral hops, grassy-maltiness, clean, not overpowering hops but it’s the main taste profile in this one. Slight notes of caramel. Clean, crisp and drinkable. Tastes like a vienna.

Pours with a nice copper color, thick head. Taste is smooth with a somewhat bitter aftertaste. This is a good summer/fall beer -- good with brats, burgers and other grilled foods.

(bottle). Clear amber color. Medium off white head which is mostly diminishing. Roasted malt aroma and flavor. Avg duration. Smooth finish with a very light bitterness. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.

Pours a beautiful reddish cooper crowned by a thick mop of tan foam. Aroma is hops and a hint of caramel. Creamy on the palate with a malty taste profile and a nice dry finish. Pairs well with summer foods such as burgers, brats, or pastrami.

Bottled. Amber pour with barely any aroma to speak of. Hints of caramel malt and toast with a thin grain taste. Ehh.

On tap at a local party. Not too bad really. A little sweet with a touch of hops. It has some flavor, so I can’t complain too much.
