Oct 14, 2009 ok. i bought a case of this for 15 bucks on clearance having never heard of it. i didn’t give it much thought; my wife likes ambers, it’d be a good filler beer, and it’s cheaper than Yuengling. whatever.
Well, i tried it and was instantly in love. It drinks like so much more than an amber lager. it pours a cloudy sienna color with a thin off-white head. the aroma is kinda fruity- candy, bubblegum, cherry, plum- and toasty. the flavor, though, is what makes it. it’s really bready and toasty. it’s got a dark fruitiness to it. it’s got more hoppy bitterness than any other lager I can think of, and the finish is dry and malty with a pretty solid bitterness. i highly recommend it.

Sep 17, 2009 Golden pour with hints of red. Light head and lace. Nice caramel malt aroma. Sweet start with a hint of cherriness. A hint of hop bitter on the end. Thin and a bit watery, decent carbonation. Not bad more like an amber ale than at PL.

On tap at Barcade. Pours a clear pale golden amber wit ha thin white head. Mostly empty aromas with some malt and a little bit of citrus. Medium bodied, light malt, not much else. Finishes with a light bitter.

Aug 30, 2009 12 oz bottle. Amber pour with a thin off white head. Aroma of malt and faint hops. Great full flavor of roasted malt. Pleasant surprise, really good local (for me) lager.

Aug 9, 2009 Yes JB, this was a fine beeer to have right after tubing and before trying my hand on the jetski. This beer had more body to it than the usual Lager. I guess that’s why it’s premium.

Aug 9, 2009 The label calls this one an amber, ’premium lager’ doesn’t seem to do it justice. Very nice beer with a great balance of hops and malt, leaning towards malty. Enjoying it on a boat with our best friends made it all the more enjoyable.

Jul 29, 2009 pepper spice and malt flavor to this cloudy tea looking brew. a bit too little hop and this brew tastes like something is missing. a whole dimension of character, flavor!? call it what you like but at least the palate is open to insert something, what !!! with a good enough name, bottle and appearance cape ann reformulate this brew a bit and show us your skills. good luck since it won’t take too much.

Jun 15, 2009 Not much to like about this beer. While the aroma was ok the aftertaste was not pleasant and hung on the tounge for a long time. I would not and did not order a second.
