skoisirius (570), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 2, 2009 Not much to say about this guy except that it’s a great tasting slightly malted lager that goes great in hot weather. MadMan (497), Tempe, Arizona, USA Aug 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a light brown with decent sized head. Aroma is bready malt with a hint of hops. Flavor comes in with a clean light roasty maltiness with a hint of nuttiness leading to a dry and lightly bitter short finish. Medium carbonation mixed with the clean and faintly caramel and sweet malts makes it a great drinker with a clean smooth finish begging you to open another. Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jun 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Light brown pour, small off white head. Aroma is very bready, light biscuit malts and light citrus hop. Flavor is hefty on malt with a little bit of citrus hop, thin mouth. Not bad, but not something I’d reach for again. glennmastrange (807), hobe sound, Florida, USA May 2, 2009 Bottle. Moderate grain, roasted and caramel for the malt, moderate perfume note for the hops and light leather for the yeast, with background notes of wood date and alcohol. Head is small, wispy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is sparkling clear copper. Flavor starts moderately sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic. Palate is medium, oily and has a lively carbonation. An okay Dunkel, but there is an artificial sweetness that’s noticeable throughout. Dogbrick (2813), Columbus, Ohio, USA Apr 27, 2009 This brew pours a deep chestnut color with a medium beige head that dissipates steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Nutty and malty aroma. Medium, smooth body with flavors of roasted malt, nuts and hops. The finish is nutty like cashews with notes of roasted malt and moderately bitter hops left over. Decent overall. emptytankard (36), Illinois, USA Apr 4, 2009 Great rich brew, pretty much on par with a good German bock. Pours a dark copper with a quickly dissipating head. Bready, with some nice cocoa notes and very pleasant sweetness. Minimal hop presence, with a nice smooth finish. illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA Apr 3, 2009 12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Dark copper color with a creamy beige head that gives way to a thin cap, leaving wisps of lacing. Aroma is dark bread crust maltiness with a tinge of orangey hoppiness. Flavor is nutty and bready with a very significant hop presence. A little caramel, a little candied orange, some cocoa powder, and some roasted malt. All the flavors blend together nicely to make a very tasty (although not exactly bock-ish) beer. Light bodied, nice carbonation level, no trace of alcohol. Very drinkable. EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA Mar 28, 2009 Very drinkable with some flavor and bite. Not worth a special rating, but not something I would turn down.
