BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Jan 26, 2008 This is quaffable, not really anything special. Some light caramel sweetness, just a touch of roastiness with a hint of bitterness in the finish. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/12/2003

Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Aug 8, 2007 tasted at brewery, pours a clear amber, mild white head. crisp, refreshing, and mildly bitter. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Apr 2, 2007 on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is medium malt-some sweet. Taste is medium malt-some sweet, secondary hops bitterness. OK carbonation. NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Dec 19, 2006 D-raft at the UJ’s. Pours a solid amber red which is seen through easily. The aroma is delicate of pear and leaves with a hint of caramel type sweetness. As I was expecting, this is quite light on the palate and crisp. It’s got a leafy, caramel-infused taste with hints of corn on the cob in the finish and just a medium level of bitterness. Fair enough. Quixote18 (230), Johnson City, Tennessee, USA Jul 12, 2006 On draft at Barley’s in Asheville. Clear amber color with a medium-lasting white head. Nice caramel malt aroma with some spicy hops. Flavor was also well hopped without being overpowering. I had a hard time figuring out if they were going for the Marzen or just a plain Amber lager. To me it sort of defies either style, but is still a tasty brew. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Dec 7, 2005 Draught. Clear copper color with thin off white head. Spicy, metallic hop nose and flavor. Moderately carbonated, crisp, and a bit bitter. Decent beer, true to style. tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Sep 27, 2005 Draught. Pours a clear, medium-copper color with a white head that leaves reasonable lacing. The aroma is faint hops and seems a bit astringent. The palate is a bit fizzy, but has a comfortable density. I taste hops first, then the malt works its way into the finish. Also, as the beer warmed to room temperature, it got a bit cardboard-y.
