12 oz bottle. Pours a reddish deep golden color with a medium sized quickly vanishing off white head. It has a nice roasted taste and it very nicely balanced between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. This beer was much better than I expected and I will probably drink this one again.

Poured a nce deep golden colour with agood head. Aroma was a nice balance between malt sweetness and hops. Taste had plenty of character. Malt & Hop predominantly with perhaps a little yeast dryness. Good beer. Not what expected and cerainly plenty of characters for a lager

Pours an amber color with minimal lacing. A decent amount of hops taste throughout the beer. A good amber lager that is not overwhelming. Overall an amber ale that I would drink again.

12oz bottle. Pours orange with big creamy off-white head. Good lacing and mostly lasting foam. Good aroma with some malt and lots of hops. Balanced and aromatic flavor. Medium body and medium carbonation. Good beer.

12 oz bottle. Amber color with small head and little lacing. Sweet malt and a little hops at the nose. Nice roasted malt flavor with some hops coming through at the end. Medium body. The flavor definitely did not improve as it warmed. Not very inspiring but good nonetheless.

35.5cl bottle; Slightly unclear, dark amber to brown colour with a short and tanned creamy layer. Moderately sweet and toasted malty nose with toffee, licquorice and herbal, also slightly woody hops. Light-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toasty malty base with aromatic notes of caramel and liquorice, accompanied by a blend of herbal hops and very subtle fruity notes lying underneath; toasty malty and moderately hop bitter finish. Good. 13.I.09

not to much aroma on this one. Does smell fresh though. Appearance is rich creamy amber with a hint of red. Taste is roasted malts with a touch of bitterness. Nice carbonation and a creamy head. Pretty good... tastes like a nicely balance lager.
