Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA Jan 3, 2008 Bottle: Not a bad beer. Aroma of malt and spices. Probably the best choice at Outback (where I had the beer). pet3rman (206), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 2, 2008 Pours amber red with moderate white head. Some malt aroma. Taste is like that of a bad macro with added malt. Easy to drink, but not overly enjoyable. UofFkid (108), Orlando, Florida, USA Jan 2, 2008 Tap. Reddish pour with little lacing. Heavy malt aroma. Not over the top with ginger and molasses. Great middle of the road Season offering that is readily available. UCLABruin (34), Los Angeles, California, USA Jan 2, 2008 red brown with a thin head. malt aroma with light caramel notes. Beer is smooth but lively carbonated with medium flavor. SHANER4 (370), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jan 1, 2008 On tap at local pub. Poured dark amber color with small head. A sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet like a jolly rancher and Halls cough drop. Silky mouthfeel and very easy to drink. Nice brew and good abv. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Jan 1, 2008 Draft at Yardhouse. Dark amber pour with minimal head. Lots of lager malt in the nose. Flavor is the same, with some nuttiness. Fairly dry finish. Mehmet22 (32), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 31, 2007 Bottle. Pours deep amber. Hops are distant in this lager leaving a loafy-wheat taste . The lager finishes gluten-like with a hint of cinnamon. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Dec 30, 2007 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates clean. Aroma of light bready malt, some roasted nuts and a touch of herbal spices. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of caramel malt, some grassy hops and a touch of white pepper. Finish is semi-sweet with a light caramel malt aftertaste. Not your typical winter lager as I am not sure what to really think of it. Still very drinkable.
