rajendra82 (648), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Oct 29, 2007 Received as a trade extra from BA Psycohops, the 12 oz long neck bottle was conservatively adorned with a simple but elegant front label, and a very informational back label. The beer itself was clear and effervescent deep gold (rather than copper as indicated on the packaging), and the head was one finger thick. The aroma was clean and malty with some spice also present. The taste indicated spicy floral hops and double concoction sweet and toasty German malts. Although malty, the start and end was each sip felt quite dry. Very smooth and softly textured mouthfeel. Simple of construction, but more complex in character than first suggested. No ABV listed, but I suspect this was a bit heavier than a typical Vienna Lager. DocLock (4170), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Medium copper with 2-finger off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, hops, spices, and mild funk. Tastes caramel malty, with noble hops, some toffee, and some honey notes in the finish. Not bad. mike5203 (33), Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 22, 2007 12oz bottle, and draft. I Ilke it, I think this can give Yuengling Lager a run for its money. It is a very easy to drink beer with a great balance. It has a beautiful mahogany color with a off white head. Very smooth going down with more flavor than Yuengling. This is a great every day brew. Nejhleader (791), Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 25, 2007 i thought this was another surprisingly good beer from lion. Very clean and crisp taste. has a nice not overly sweet malt taste with a good blend of hops to balance it. very nice. pbjclimber (150), Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 6, 2007 Pours a light mahogany color with an off white head. Flavor is of roasted and dark malts with a some hops. It is light to medium bodied with a nice crisp taste. This is a good lager.
