Shared wih beermouth. Clear amber with a decent white head. Malty caramel touch with a medium body & carbonation. Easy drinkable & a true allround brew with some hops in the end!

12oz bottle. Pours a clear reddish-amber with a lacy head and little carbonation. Aroma is light with notes of malt, hops, and caramel. Body is fairly full for the style with a sweet caramel and malt flavor giving way to a more bitter hoppy finish. An interesting brew and one of the more complex lagers/commons I’ve had.

Lots of malt in this beer. Can immediately smell it in the aroma. Flavor is mild and dry. Body is light and it drinks easy.

Pours a medium amber with no head. Aroma is of sweet malt with a little hoppiness. Sweet caramel flavour with a little bit of bitterness, but no real hop character. Finish is somewhat astringent and a little unpleasant. An okay beer, nothing great though.
