bottled, poured clear amber with mild tan head mod carbonation, aroma of caramel malt, for a lager very light on the palate with mild roasted malt and hop combination, as wolverine said smooth but not as expected in a lager category

Very light and smooth. Not much aroma or flavor for that matter. Easy to drink though and pleasant enough to where I would knock a few back but wouldn’t buy again since I like my lagers with a heartier taste.

2/22/08 notes: had bottle while on Florida golf trip. Heavily carbonated, and initial smell and taste is grassy with hops. Little trace of sweetening malts, but unfortunately not much there to replace them. Solid brew, drinkable, but body is too light and flavor not really complex or robust.

Smokey malt hop aroma with chemicals. Murky red amber colour with poor head and lacing. Sweet malt hop flavour with fruit. Fizzy palate.

My first beer from this brewer. Poured a hazy reddish orange with a thin head, but it may have been a problem with the glass. Malty aroma with accents of hops. Good balance of malts and hops in the taste. Flavors of biscuits, followed by some citrus. Medium bodied, very nice carbonation, and the hops lingered in the aftertaste.
