Clear reddish amber with a moderate head and minimal lace. Caramel and slightly roasted malt aromas with a hint of yeast. Toasted malt and caramel flavors, with a modest hops bitterness. Medium body nice carbonation, and a clean malt aftertaste. Quintessence of the style.

Rating from my backlog -- likely from Anchor & Hope in SF. Amber pour with a beige head of foam. Smells and tastes of red apple skins and caramel. Fair.

Clear amber color/ fleeting head. Spicy caramel, honey bread aromas. medium bodied. Nutty, spicy caramel, lightly sweet flavors.

Draft at Taps Petaluma. Amber with foamy head that doesn’t last. Mild toast and apricot nose. Beery, with light malt and fruit notes. finishes quite cleanly.

Great aroma, and looks great in the glass. It is a bit downhill from there, but not much. A mellow nuttiness wrapped in a muted sweetness. Anything fermented with lager yeast tends to take a hit in the points, but this is great considering.

12oz bottle. An OK lager for those who like the style. Found this one to be sweeter than most with a fruitier taste than typically found in a lager.

~Scent of moderate toasted malts and some honey. ~Pours a deep orange red color, very clear. Firm small head. ~Rich malty sweetness in flavor with moderate hops. ~Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. ~Easy drinking session brew. Not my favorite style, but enjoyable.

A golden amber beer with a thick off white head. In aroma, a lightly nutty aroma. In mouth, a lightly nutty malt taste with mineral notes and German hops. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, August 27 2009.
