Oct 23, 2005 Poured a clear amber/orange with a fizzy white head. Some caramel and malt on the nose, faint. Taste different.Like a watered medicine with some beer. Maybe that is the hops? Nothing extra ordinary. Thanks Eric.

Oct 22, 2005 pours a deep rich copper in color with a slight head. smooth caramel malt up front but the hop bitterness on the tail just did not blend well for me. Thanks for the bottle Eric.

Oct 22, 2005 Shared this one with Duane. A somewhat forgettable beer IMO. Poured a dark amber color. A smooth beer with a slightly bitter finish, but it just didnt have much else to it. I don’t know if this just isn’t my style, but this one just didnt do much for me.

Oct 8, 2005 09.30.05 GABF Dark, clear straw. Mild, not too grainy, zero adjunct nastiness. Nice balance all around. Subtle fruit hints throughout keep an otherwise plain style interesting. The end is sharp, hoppy, and vibrant. Excellent stuff, I can see why it’s popular.

Oct 5, 2005 Darkish clear gold appearance, completed by a spectacular off-white head, both creamy and frothy in behaviour. The nose is adequate, proposing fresh citrus and floral hops with undefined malt character, but on the palate, it gains confidence. Indeed, a combination of earthiness and tasty bready maltsblend in with the crisp lemony hallertauers to create a citric, yet admirably soft elixir. Medium bodied, creamy in texture with judicious carbonation that blends into the bitterness.

Oct 2, 2005 12 oz bottle via trade with jzzbassman - Thanks Monte! - Pours copper with very little offwhite head. Aroma of caramel, cloves, haylike hops. Flavor is toast, caramel, toffee, some roasted notes and a fair amount of hops on the finish. Palate is medium boded and smooth. Pretty tasty. Od that it is a premium lager because it seems very much like a marzen to me. Enjoyable!

Sep 30, 2005 Updated: Jan 12, 2006Bottle: Pours a deep, dark golden, oragne color. Has little to no head, but some (not much) lacing and carbination going on. The aroma was my favorite part of the beer; cloves, dry grass/wheat, lemon, floral, pepper/spices. The mouthfeel was quite dry and carbonated with abite at the finish. The flkavors were light on standard malty/hoppy themes, but lots of undertones ranging from citrus/apples/floral to toffee/malted/roasted/smokey.
A very enjoyable beer the aroma and mouthfeel are great!

Sep 26, 2005 A fine impression of a munich style lager. A little floral for my liking, but good overall.
