Jun 2, 2004 Bottle. An altbier? this was somewhere in the realms of the Alaskan Amber. i.e, a pile of crap. Smelt quite nutty, but there was an overwhelming smell of pee. Stale nutty caramel flavours, really dissapointing.

Aug 5, 2003 Copper orange with a light tan thick head. Thin malty aroma. Body is reminiscent of an American standard micro. Bland, bitter and boring.

Jul 12, 2004 Initial smell reminded me of a sweaty jock strap (not that I would know what one smells like). Plain and bland tasting. Their web site says this is their year ’round flagship brew - based on this one, I’m not looking forward to tasting any others by them. Could I have gotten a bad bottle or could it have been the Dogfish 90 minute IPA & Victory Storm King Imperial Stout I had before tasting this one - may have had an influence on taste, but could barely finish it.
