12 oz, bb Jan 18, 09. Clear orange-copper with a small ring of bubbles that doesn’t leave much lacing behind. Earthy grain and spicy caramel corn aroma has a sourish tinge to it. Flavor is rough grain, corn husks, caramel, tart apple with hints of orange, cocoa and toasted walnut. Light-medium body is mostly smooth, and slightly dry.

Pours a copper/ amber color, with little head. The aroma is of malt, and lightly of hops. the flavor is malty, hops, and a caramel flavor too. This beer is not the best from victory in my opinion.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear copper with small white head. Aroma of malts, caramel. and some light hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, nuts and hops. Body is a little thin and watery. Nothing special.

Pours from 12 oz bottle a clear coppery color, forming little foam. Aroma of malts, caramel, perhaps a bit of field grass. Flavour what you would think from a marzen type beer, light caramel and malts, and again some field grass sneak in. Not my most fave style, but decent enough.

Bottle: This beer poured a light honey color with no head at all. Very faint hint of malt on the nose. Very subtle carbonation with a bready malt taste. The aftertaste leaves your mouth somewhat dry with a hint of yeast. It’s an okay beer but nothing spectacular. I’d give it another try if I found it on tap somewhere.

Pours amber with a smallish head, some lacing. Aroma of caramel, nuts, and grass. Solid flavor, easy drinking.

Pours a nice amber color with nice carbonation and a fluffy off white head that lingers. Nice floral and malt aromas. Nice bready, yeasty flavor followed by a nice nuttiness, almost roasted pine nuts. Nice finish.

12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Orange-amber pour with a one finger head. Low to moderate retention. Grassy, malty aroma.... unpleasant. Sweet grainy taste followed by a toasty and slightly nutty malt finish. Taste is better than the aroma by far, thankfully. Medium body.
