Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber Lager is an amber color with a very quickly disappearing head. The aroma is very malty with some hints of alcohol. The flavor is very light with an interesting finish. Partly smooth and partly dry.

On tap @ Ølbaren. Almost clear and amber coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Malty and a bit sweet with notes of bread, caramel, grain and hops.

Bottle from a sampler from Harris Teeter Barracks Charlottesville. Pours a dark orange with minimal head. Nondescript malty aroma. Grainy, gummy bear malty taste. I find this odd.

Bottle (part of a mixed 12 pack): Pretty good CC. Aroma and flavor of hops. Very drinkable. I would gladly drink again.

Solid clear amber pour with moderate head. Aroma is balanced. Despite the abv, I did notice a hint of alcohol on the nose. Full mouth feel. Warm flavor - what an amber lager should be. Sweet and malty, a bit sticky, with a subtle finish of caramel. Rated better than Fat Tire for good reason.

Roasted malt smell on a red body with a thin cascading head. Raisin on a watery body. Malt with very little hops. Buttery beer. Red in the light , malty brown without. Head thins to a small topping. Malt and hops combine instead of differentiating and competing for attention, the beer then fades slowly.
