I did not like this beer when I had it, maybe it was a lil’ out of season and therefore a little old because I thought the flavor was off.

I find myself liking this less and less each year. Pours a good head, nice aroma. Flavor lacks some punch to me. Too thin and watery on the tongue. Not the best effort by SA.

Brilliant red, some creamy white head. Delicate malty aroma. Balanced. Prominent hoppy bitterness. SOft and lively. Somewhat lingering. Sharp carbonic bite.

bottle. Its sweet aroma had a hint of fruit and the pour was a beautiful clear amber. The head on my quick pour was non-existent, but the palate was surprisingly complex for a domestic of this caliber

Pours a sparkling clear orangey-copper color with a moderately full, off-white, creamy, rocky head which sticks around for a while but leaves minimal lace. Nose is pretty basic, typical lager; some caramels, cereal notes typical in SA beers, and hints at spicy noble hops. Flavor is similar with rich caramels, light raisin, a mild acidity, and a low bitterness. Palate is medium-light, crisp but watery, and lively. Finishes short and crisp with some lingering caramels. Definately more bock than weizenbock being that it is bottom fermented, but still enjoyable and drinkable.
