Coppery color. Good head. Smells of toffee and caramel. Slightly watery. Finishes crisp and clean.

Bottle: This beer has just enough malt taste and backbone to keep you interested. But I did notice a slightly watered down taste. Heavy carbonation and not much caramel flavor. Decent beer and good session beer.

Amber color with decent head. Malty aroma that carries through onto the tongue. Very sweet/carmally with hops barely showing up for this one.

Bright Amber with a small white head. Thin and dry with a little sweetness. Not much to this beer.

Actually got this a a burger joint. It has a smooth taste and goes down easy enough. However, it did not have any knockout capabilty and is therefore rated as average.

I drank this in a bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on July 20th. It was served in a bottle, cold, and tasted a little like Shiner Bock, for those who are familiar with the popular Texas brew. It was descent for a micro brew trying to make it in the macro world. I would’ve rather had an amber ale than this amber lager.
