A - Pours a clear amber red with a thick off-white cap. S - Sweet caramel malt, light sour dough bread, subtle yeast. T - Toasted grain, caramel malt, hints of tangy lemon and cherry, clean grassy hops add slight bitterness. Finishes clean crisp with a bready aftertaste. M - Light to medium body, stingy carbonation off the top but thins out towards the finish. This is way better than I expected it to be. Lots of clean flavors and very refreshing. One of the best I’ve had from this brewery. Serving type: bottle 03-17-2011

12oz bottle, enjoyed with at a LaRosa’s with a philly calzone. Best by June/03/13. Clear red / orange amber color. Very lively carbonation. Thin off-white head. Little lace. Light toasty malt. Metallic flavor. Lightly spicy hop. Medium body. More smooth carbonation. Light bitter taste, more sweet. OK. Kind of just a slightly macro-tasting red lager. It’s got that light metal taste. Kind of uninspired and not too flavorful overall, though not bad.

A decent red lager, not much to talk about has a brownish red pour and hints of malty hops and some fruit flavor to the finish.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2013 Not to bad for the style, a little on the light side of a red with a shallow mouth feel

A red beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and bread, leading to a bitter finish.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2013 From memory. As with the Creamy Dark, nothing really stood out about this beer, but it?s still degrees above a run-of-the-mill American lager.

It pours a cloudy, yet dark brown, and gives a more reddish body. Some light carbonation is seen rising. No lacing is left. The smell has some malts up front with no hops whatsoever. The taste is more combined between the malts and the hops. The palate is light to medium with that same crispness that’s always been there over the years I’ve had this. Overall, this is a decent Vienna Lager that I’m unsure if I would have again, probably depend on what else was served.

Pours a clear amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is slightly wheaty with mild roast and earthiness. Flavor is earthy/bitter with spice and dry leaves...mild tea. Mouthfeel is light/medium with an earthy/bitter dry finish.

Bottle. Pours clear amber/ruby with average, creamy off-white head; decent retention and spare lacing. Aroma is bread and biscuit malt, some caramel, funk, grassy hops, wet leaves, nuts, and a hint of egg. Flavor is dry malts, nuts, grassy hops, and some vinous fruit esters; dry from start to finish. Light-medium body and low carbonation.

Bottle. Pours clear copper with a small, creamy off-white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is light toast and nutty malt, spicy hops, and a clean lager character. Flavor is malt dominant with spicy hops, light to medium bitterness and a sweet finish. Medium body, medium carbonation.
