May 19, 2008 Bottle into Lager glass. Poured an amber-brow-dull copper with a fluffy, light tan head. Lacing was so-so. Aroma was a spicy, bready malt and bakery items. Flavor was no terribly distinguishing, although still rather enjoyable: basically a follow through on the promise found in the nose. A light frshly bitter hoppiness showed up near th end of the flavor for an interesting contrast. The mouthfeel was slightly astringent and light. Overall, nice enough to have been worth the calories. I’d probably drink again on tap.

Mar 21, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a small, bubby white head.
Smell: Pale malt aroma with a few candy crumbs hiding in there as well as a touch of breadiness and a floral, spicy hop component.
Taste: Pale malts with a slight breadiness. Mildly sweet. A firm, spice-driven bitterness battles the sweet and ultimately wins a lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s alright beer. If you have a problem with that, why don’t you go cry into your pillow?

Mar 7, 2008 Pours a translucent copper with a thin white head. The aroma is nothing special and is rather plain. The flavor starts off a little sweet but the bitterness from the hops comes in at the very end. Not what would come to mind as a winter brew. I thought it was average.
