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.

~Pours a rich amber color with decent sized frothy white head ~Sweet caramel malt scent with some spice aroma. ~Taste is sweet, but not overpowering so. Malts with light fruits and spices. ~Medium feel, frothy. Quick sweet finish. ~Nice winter brew. Has the sugar and spice for the season, but not overdone.

12 oz bottle. Not a lot happening in this one. But still very drinkable and it didn’t stop me from having several out in the desert.

12oz bottle-pours a light tan head and amber color. Aroma is mild medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt, that tart fruity (cherry) yeast, secondary spicy hops. Medium body. OK carbonation.

Pretty much the same as the Boston lager but a little less bitter and a tad fruity. Not bad, but not excellent.
