| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 15, 2009 12 ounce sample on tap at the brewpub. Aroma is strange--vomit is the first thing that crosses my olfactory nerve. Kind of has that sweet, but acidic aroma with metallic undertones. I can’t get over the puke, though. Transparent amber body with a nice, bubbly, off-white head that is strong. Nice lacing. This has a nice caramel sweet, sticky start with some roastiness in the middle with some light choco notes, too. Has a similar aggressive herbal hop spiciness as the Pils, yet not as brash. Pretty balanced and decent. The aroma really detracts for me, though.
