5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Jul 10, 2006 Bottle: Amber hued caramel, mild sudsy off-white head, a few splotches of lacing, very light carbonation. Malty nose, semi-sweet, seems to be caramel malts and perhaps vienna. Lightly roasted malt on the tongue, slight breadiness, not as sweet as I thought it would be. Clean, very low hop bitterness, smooth, somewhat dry, with a pleasant sticky malt accentuated exit. Light, but still enjoyable. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. I only wished it would be a tad sweeter.
Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 19, 2006 Amber-red with a small filmy head. Caramel aromas with rich malts and floral hops. Some bitter notes. Nicely malted flavors that are bitter and floral. Caramel and some roast. Cloying, though not too bad, bitter finish. BrewDad (2363), Olympia, Washington, USA May 9, 2006 [Bottle]
A nice amber reddish color. A very light nose to this beer. The head was light also. The flavor was a light irish red type beer. This was a easy drinking beer. Nothing very special the hops where very light also. This was a commercial example of a lawnmower beer that was OK. BückDich (4767), McCall, Idaho, USA May 3, 2006 Draught at the Brewpub: Pellucid amber color, nose is vegetal with roast and medium crystal malts. The flavor is light in body, chewy. Decent flavor, a bit of an environmental distraction while I was rating this one. I got my numbers down before my notes so I don’t have any other details descriptors. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Mar 14, 2006 Pours a dark brown with almost no head. Sweet malt aromas with a hint of hops. Sweet roast flavor with a little bitterness. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA Mar 13, 2006 This one has a great fruity nose, with some toasted milquetoast bready notes. It is nicely roasty, sweet and toasty. Finish is very fresh and clean tasting, no bitter aftertaste. Really easy to drink. One of the better beers I have had from this brewery. montanabeerman (7), Bozeman, Montana, USA does not count Mar 5, 2006 Bottle. Smalllish off-white head with a mild yeasty or doughy type aroma. Great full mouthfeel with a light caramel sweetness. This beer is considerably more bitter however than any other Bayern beer Ive ever tasted. Nice grapefruit or citrus notes, good finish. Perkeo (318), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 15, 2006 Bottled, feb. ’06 as a spring seasonal, or more precisely, a march 17th seasonal: Slightly roasty lager, slight cherry and apricot on the nose, whiffs of diacetyl, a little bit in flavor as well, nice bread/bisquit/roast balance, somewhere between a vienna and a munich dunkel, nice and "real" tasting as a fresh product but maybe not a big fave in the future...
