| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Dec 12, 2006 Enjoyed a pint of this one on draught at the Brick House Brewery in Patchogue, NY. Pours to a beautiful, bright, deep golden, to light amber color, with a tight white head. The nose is very nice, with good pale and light toasted malt aroma. The palate is firm, with really good pale malt and lightly buttered toast flavor, on a clean, polished body. This beer finishes with more really good pale and toasted malt flavor up front, and then finishes with just enough herbal hop bittereness to balance. "Toasted" is a very apt descriptor here. You really get good toasted malt aromas and flavors, and this is just an excellent, flavorful, drinkable lager. Really impressive on draught, and a great guest tap at the Brick House. pineypower (1103), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2006 Pours out a nice clear amber color with a small, short lived white head. Aroma is of malt and a slight toasted nose. Taste is very well balanced with some malty notes, slight but very slight toasty flavor and a slight hop finish. cheapdark (2024), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA

Pours like any other darker yellow shade of American lager. Very little aroma. Very smooth flavor, nothing toasty, tho. Nothing offensive detectable. Clean and easy to drink.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2006 Poured amber like a real amber stone, I expected to see a mosquito frozen inside, under the thin white top. Interesting aroma ...sweet and malty, yet with a floral overtone. The flavor is more pronouncedly malty, but extremely well balanced with a very light citrus twist. Excellent beer that even non nerds would enjoy well. Immy (1911), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 12, 2006 Well, it’s toasty. Poured a reddish golden color with a small fluffy white head. Nice roasted malt aroma with a touch of fruity hops. Flavor is rather rich for a lager, I’d say. Toasted bread, mildly citrusy hops, grainy malt. Flavorful and light ... could definitely put a few of these away. Smooth.
