Amber colored brew. Sweet aroma. Flavor is sweet, caramel, peaches and maybe some more fruits, something I can’t name. Overall interesting.

Caramel malty aroma, an amber red/brown color with a persisting white head of foam. The flavor is malty, slightly sweet, no discernable hops. Unremarkabale finish, maybe a slight hop burn at the end, but it’s hard to tell. Drinkable.

Old scratch had a very low hop profile, perhaps too low for style. I realize that an Amber Lager is suposed to have a low hop profile, but this one is a bit low for my liking. This is very malty, but so much so that it carries a very sweet flavor profile.

Quite strong caramel aroma. Roasted-smoky malt. Medium-high in sweetness. Distinguish fruity flavour. Distant hoppy bitterness. Bitter-sweet aftertaste. Very nice amber colour.

The mouthfeel is the best part of this beer. Not much there complexity-wise, but very, very drinkable.

Aroma is slightly sweet, with some caramel malt, some fruit hints and light hops. Flavor is toasted malt and a bit of floral notes. Think a slightly hoppier version of Fat Tire.
