The Firebrick is a brown appearing lager.The aroma is quite malty, and somewhat citrusy as well. This aroma is muted, however, when sipping the beer. I’m having trouble getting a good taste of it. It’s strange; I’m just not getting much out of this beer.

UPDATED: JUN 22, 2011 Hmmmm, the day after I drank this swill it felt like there was a brick of fire shoved up my nether regions! Keep this one for your in-laws, keep the Blatz for yourself! Think about it.

Nice malty lager with fair head and nice lacing. Most notable is the green grape notes at the beginning. Finishes just a little harshly
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Copper color with a creamy tan head. Caramel aroma with a rich, roasted but sweet and malty taste. Hints of bread and caramel in the flavor. One of the finer brews from Schell’s.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle poured a clear amber with a lasting light amber head. Aromas of carmel, light earthiness and light fruittiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, bread, light earthiness and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth lingering malty finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
[Tap] Pours a dark shade of amber with a very small white head. Aroma of light malts and dry grains. Rather light in body, with caramel malts and a light and dry finish. Rather high carbonation. Seems like a pretty run-of-the-mill example of the style, but without any major flaws.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pour is light brown and clear. Aroma is malty, yeasty and lightly hoppy. Flavor is fuller bodied, nicely hoppy and pleasantly malty. It’s solid beer and easy to drink.
