Oct 22, 2007 (Tap @ NXNW): Pale amber-orange body, clear. White foamy head. Malty aroma. Good malt taste, not acidic. Roasted, red flavor. Slight acidic aftertaste. Clean & refreshing. Okay taste. Lagery after it warms up.

Oct 22, 2007 Light clear copper with a small white creamy head. Smell is of apple juice. Taste begins w/ a fair amount of tartness, some light sweetness in the form of a toasty malt, and mild bitterness in the finish. Nice and refreshing. A good example of the style, and a touch hoppier than expected which I really liked.

Oct 28, 2006 Clear coppery orange, thin fizzy white head. After warming from the icy pour, the nose leaned towards a spicy, grainy toasted caramel tone, with a faint hint of earthiness. Flavor was much the same with a decent late hop kick for balance. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, spicy hop finish. A good session fest brew...

Oct 17, 2002 A tad better than the Marzen. Not good in the beginning....finish of cereal...got much better as it warmed....awkward ceral taste turned to a pleasant malty taste with notes of alcohol and hops....typical NXNW beer.
