noncaloric (601), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 20, 2009 Clear amber pour, thin off-white head, no lacing to speak of. Aroma was faint, something of tea and nuts. Flavor primarily bitter, black tea, bitter almond. No off notes, but nothing really to say yum about either. Thin to medium body, pronouncedly dry. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Jun 12, 2009 12oz twist-off bottle. Light copper/ amber color. Paper thin white head. Odd aroma consists of apricot pits, pencil shavings, and slight butterscotch. Some tartness, a little butterscotch flavors on the palate. Light bodied. 03 may 08 esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Oct 11, 2008 Clear copper with a beige head that fades as I stare. Aroma of sweet malt, grain, grassy and earthy hops and funk. Body is watery and somewhat astringent and it finishes akin to a cola. Taste of caramel, malt and nuts. doubelknv3 (559), Illinois, USA Aug 3, 2008 Biscuit ,caramel and mild honey aroma notes. Golden-amber; clear; with white, frothy head. Biscuit, mild caramel, and some mild metallic flavour notes. Watery, dull palate. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jul 25, 2008 Bottled, thanks to Bob! Poured hazy medium orange with a short-lived cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up sweeter caramel and a whole bunch of toast with dry cardboard and berries toward the back.. some odd stuff back there, and not very enticing overall. The flavor had sticky caramel and nutty base with dry herbal bitterness surrounding.. tacky finish with an odd sweetness. Lighter-bodied with moderate-to-low carbonation.. never felt good. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 11, 2008 This beer pours a semi clear amber colour with a large frothy head. A light mouthfeel, that does taste with soft malted feel. Starts sweet and finishes bitter. Has a distinct caramel flavor. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA May 11, 2008 Date: 05/03/2008

ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA May 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, gem-quality amber body topped by a small, white head that bubbles out fairly quickly.
Smell: Aroma of toasted barley and a spicy, floral hop character.
Taste: Toasty maltiness, a hint of a grain, and a touch of sugary, caramel sweetness. Spicy, floral hop character remains light, as is any hop bitterness. Lightly sweetish finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Sure, it’s no GL Eliot Ness, but it’s good enough for a little, unassuming amber lager.
