Aug 19, 2008 Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, grassy, wildflowers, spice, dry malt, earthy. Tastes spicy and of caremel with some dry malty hints and some nice bitter hints on the finish. I’ve enjoyed this entire series so far and look forward to Freaktoberfest.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle; poured a very clear gold color with a small, but compact head. Aroma was smooth and clean; slightly toasted malt, herbs, grass wint some citrus notes in the end. Flavor reminded me of an extra strong pils. Sweet malt gives way to a hoppy finish; hops were on the herbal side/dry hopping. Palate had a hint of creaminess; nice and smooth. Solid and enjoyable beer.

Aug 16, 2008 The body was clear and golden peach colored, with an ample carbonation forming a one finger thick and durable head. The nose was clean and displayed a combination of noble hops and Munich malts. The taste was quite a bit more hoppy than I was anticipating from the smell. The hops were spicy and floral in character, and were backed by a Festbier like malty but drinkable backbone. The body was creamy and smooth, and the aftertaste was herbal and marred by a slight metallic note. An enjoyable and affordable offering from this brewery that seems to be growing on me with each release.

Aug 14, 2008 Pours a dark golden amber with a thin white head.
Aroma is light grassy hop, grainy pale malt.
Flavour is full bodied toasty malt, some earthy-grassy hop combinations. Slight alc sourness in the finish.
A good strong lager with only minor flaws.

Aug 14, 2008 Pours clear orange / copper with a quickly diminishing off-white head. The aroma has toasted nutty malt, some caramel, lager smoothness, some earthy hops and green onions. Medium lightly biting body with minor sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with very toasted molt, dirty earthy hops and peppery spice. The finish has a lot more earthy dirty hops. Okay, but not my fave from the Coney Island line.
