Style: American Dark Lager
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Shaker

On draft in Milwaukee. Appearance is a clear amber hue, minimal head and lacing. Smell is very subdued, some clean bread malts w/hints of caramel and grassy hops. Taste is bread and caramel malts, lager yeast, light grassy hops, finishes with light bitterness. Light-bodied, watery texture, high carbonation. Substandard lager with too much carbonation, easy-to-drink but lacking in any creative or bold flavors.

Nice copper color with a thin white head. Nice malty sweet flavor. I think I could drink this all day.

Draft at the Leine’s Lodge In Chippewa Falls, WI. 7oz. Glass. Redish hue and off white head. Smelt of sweet malts and cascade hops. Tastes much the same.

Pours a deep amber hue with a nice foamy head. Malty aroma. Quite drinkable with light hops making it a little bitter but still a rather smooth lager. A very good red beer.

Nice red color. A bit more hoppy and bitter than Killian’s Red but still quite drinkable.

Had on tap. Pours reddish amber with light reddish tan head. Aroma is malty with a hint of hops. Flavor is all malts and a little dry. Not a bad beer and would drink again.

Great American beer. Nice aroma but a better apperance, deep golden red with thick light tan head. Flavor: Somewhat malty, somewhat hoppy. Right balance of bitterness and goes down smooth. Definitely a beer I can drink all the time.

(Sampled 7-4-08 at cousin’s party from 12 oz. bottle poured into clear plastic glass)- poured transparent dull red-brown, quarter finger off white head that actually stayed for a few minutes. Very weak aroma of sugar and malt. Hits the mouth with a high-thin body, malt is detectable and somewhat pleasant, some odd twang of sweetness and hops on the finish. Better than what I was drinking before hand, but the homemade rocket fuel later in the evening blew everything away that night.
