sweet caramel maltiness on the nose. frothy off white head on top of a brown pour. Very sweer for an amber. i like the sweet malty finish on the palate. very smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Saturday Night in November. 7-ish. Unusually warm out. Getting ready to take date out to nice dinner. A thin, lazy (lacy) head tops a sleek, tasty-looking amber body. It smells faintly of vanilla with a hint of ginger. Full-bodied, sweet, citrus. Kudos to the near perfect balance of sweetness (malts) and bitterness (hops.) Also can taste a hint of woodiness or bark (pun intended!) Even a little bit of pumpkin. Then there's also bonus points for Steadman's impressive artwork!

Quite tasty with a full hoppy flavor and a smooth body with a welcome bite at the finish.

Glass pour-my house. A pretty, amber pour. Loads of smooth maltiness that’s pretty well balanced. Leaves you wanting more (in a good way).

Had this at a beer tasting, and remember being very impressed since I like very few lagers. Wish I could remember more details, so I plan on grabbing a 6 pack of this for more ’research’.

Excellent. Malty aroma mixed with slight hoppiness. Very balanced malt flavors. Strong caramel flavor. Tastes more like an ale to me and the body is very heavy. Just the way I like it.

Another damn good beer from Flying Dog. Pours amber with a small white head. Aroma was malt, hops and a little citrus. Malty hoppy taste.
