Capa (737), Yokosuka, Japan Aug 18, 2008 I may have gotten an old bottle because this one just seemed off the whole time. Light herbal notes, and sweet malts in the aroma. Didn’t taste very good, either. I picked up some crisp hops but they were overshadowed by an odd off flavor that annoyed me to the end. Smooth bodied. Meh, no thanks. OldGrowth (1269), Cary, North Carolina, USA Aug 4, 2008 pint @ Tyler’s Apex. Ok aroma, Sweet, lite overall, little peppery hops, seltzer, cardboard a corny streak to it. Clear yellowy gold color, small head,no lace. Bitter finish, like aroma, but some how was a notch better. Lost the corn I got in aroma. Lite body, watery mouthfeel, crisp bitter finish. Ok, easy to drink, like the crispness on the finish the best BREWMUSKCLES (754), WEEHAWKEN, New Jersey, USA Jul 27, 2008 DECENT LITTLE caramel type marzen with good hop character and a malt taste that seems chemical contrived and rusty. decent sweetness i wil re-rate. medium in body i liked the caramel type sweetness. somewhat unbalanced somewhat smooth and mainly malty. eehhh cking (723), North Canton, Ohio, USA Jun 16, 2008 The flagship beer from Penn Brewery, and it’s a remarkable Pilsner. This one is done right and would find a regular home in my fridge if it were more available. Powerful hop nose providing a spicy/peppery aroma from an abundance of noble hops. Hints of bread and caramel also come into play. A sparking rich copper color with a fluffy, lasting head and very thick lacing. Good bitterness atop a fresh filling malty body. Clean, crisp and delightful on the palate. Flavors of sweet baked bread, nuts, hay. Plenty of floral and spicy hop notes with a slight hint of citrus. There is plenty of depth found in this great beer, top notch and surprisingly delicious. DandyWolfFloyd (225), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 2, 2008 Aroma is standard hop and malts, typical of this style. It’s a nice golden color with a nice white head. It tastes nice and hopped, with mild hoppieness, and rich medium dark malt. It’s very smooth. A nice session
