| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 2, 2007 Beer poured much darker than I was expecting. After reading the label "an easy drinking limited edition lager" I was expecting something light. But don’t get me wrong, this was a BEAUTIFUL brown/red pour, a pleasant surprise. Aroma is big and potent, pure malt, tons of caramel. Flavor is much the same: lots of caramel, dry, round, and even the finish is caramel. I can still taste it long after I’ve swallowed the beer. One thing lacking though... bitterness. This beer has none... NONE at all. after4ever (2809), Brier, Washington, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 19, 2007 12-oz. Pours a deep ruby-tinged brown. Thin white head that falls quickly to a ring of foam. Hollow nose, a little bit of bread there, maybe a whisper of caramel, but maybe not. This beer would clearly be a lot more comfortable if you didn’t notice it had stopped by. Maybe it’s going to ask you for money later. Very mild attack; thin body, light carb, very little flavor--just some weak caramel malt and then some bready yeasty aftertaste (that’s right, aftertaste, not finish). These guys let the sales success of their amber get in the way of too many of their specials--they mild everything down until there’s nothing left. Blah. luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA
