3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark, murky, mahogany/copper, frothy head that settles to nothing. Toffee and caramel, leather, roast malt, hints of liquorice and sweaty yeast on the nose. Interesting! Soft malt profile dominates the flavour - toast, liquorice, hints of boiled vegetables, and a touch of vinegar(!). Getting weird now. All these flavours mellow out as it warms up. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, a slightly grainy mouhtfeel. Comes together in the finish as dunkel-like. Strange, but not terrible. Think I was expecting something like a Brooklyn or Sam Adams, which this aint.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Red hued, with a glorious beige head. Sometimes, it’s hard to describe just how satisfying a beer from the ’Lager family’ can be. Bish doesn’t believe me - he thinks I’m a mendicant, or perhaps some kind of Uriah Heep character. It’s true that I do, fairly often, enjoy the perverse ’collecting’ pleasure of lower class Lagers, but beyond the undoubted ironic appreciation, I do genuinely love Lagers. I love the stress free appreciation, I love the simple gratification. Meanwhile, outside of boring la-la-land, this is a brusque satisfying beer. Dry, peppery, with demerera sugar, with some nut and choc bar. Like it.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Crowbar, Oslo. Deep amber with an off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel and malt with some roasty notes and hints of wood. Medium sweet, mild and malty with a light bitterness in the finish. Quite well balanced and enjoyable. (2013-04-14)
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
This may be called a lager but it is a great beer! It is a strong beer and has a deep brown colour fading to red with time, It has a mild coffee coloured head and a strong aroma of roasted malts. There are subtle tastes of caramel and citrus fruits but not overpowering and creates a smooth beer. There is nothing particularly special about this beer but it is a pleasant drink.

Reddish brown. Sweet malt, some fruit. This style is not the most exciting, but Thornbridge has addes some hops to give a subtle bitterness that is spot on. Refreshing.
