Taster at QUAFF meeting. Smells of light caramel and lager. Tastes like a typical decently clean bock. Some broadness on the palate but mostly just darker lager tasting. Overall 5.5 of 10.

THOUGHTS: Definitely a step up from a macro, but really just a simple, malty beer. It would make a decent session beer or a transition beer for a macro drinker. Easy to knock back, but I’m a sipping beer kind of guy.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium, brownish amber that could be called copper with nice carbonation and an average to long, sudsy, tan head that almost fully diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma had light to moderate caramel and sour malts; lighter grassy hops and corn. The initial flavor was lightly sweet, bitter and sour; while the finish was light to moderately sweet, slightly bitter and slightly sour with a short to average duration. There was caramel malt, sour malt, a little corn, grassy and metallic hops and sugar water. The light to medium body was a little syrupy with fizzy carbonation and lightly metallic finish.

A very solid beer, may not be the best beer, but it is a solid go to beer in a pinch. It is a very easy drinking beer with shuttle flavors that make it enjoyable.

Favorite of mine for lighter drinking in the surrounding of domestics. Not a bad staple beer but also not much to it.

12 oz. bottle- Pours a clear dark brown to red with a soapy off white head that reduces fairly quickly. Aroma is a little spicy, generic grain and beer, and some caramel malts. The taste is mildly hoppy, yet caramel malts are there too, honesty better than I was expecting, it leaves a dry mouthfeel after the swallow.
