Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Shaker

12oz bottle quite awhile ago. One of the better reds I had at the time - better than Killian’s or Smithwicks, but not as good as the craft reds elsewhere in America.

12oz bottle served in a shaker. Poured a clear copper red hue with a thin, light tan head that disappeared in a few seconds. The aroma was surprisingly rich and malty. Full of caramel and light toast. The flavor had sweet toasted malt, caramel, and a quick crisp hop bite at the finish. Medium-bodied with a light amount of prickly carbonation. Actually pretty decent. A nice flavorful lager.

Bottle. This has a strong malty nose and a decent body. Lots of vanilla, chocolate, and maybe pinenuts notes. This tasted very similar to Sam Adams Lager. I would drink it again.

Pours copper with a thin off white head. Smells of earth, some spicy hints, caramel. Tastes sweet and refreshing with some floral notes on the finish.

clear amber. light aroma of some toasted malt but still very pale. flavor has some bittering hops and light toasted malt but again, very pale. decent.

Bottle. A medium amber color body with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat light,toasted sweet malt with a pinch of hops. Flavor is equally subdued with a light roastyness,light sweetness with a touch of hops for some balance, light carbonation,medium body, short finish , quite drinkable but nothing very special for me .

Reddish/orange color. Aroma has a fair amount of hops as well as malts. Decent start to the drink but lessens as it fades. Some sweet malts upfront with a bittering finish. Not bad, easy drinking.

Eh...reminded me a little bit of Killians, but not quite as good (if you could call Killians that). Bland aroma, flat flavor....by which I mean little individual perceptions in either, and just all around not very good.
