Full Sail Limited Edition Lager (LTD 01)

Brewed by Full Sail Brewing Company
Style: Dunkel
Hood River, Oregon USA

Strong, inviting aroma has a mouth-watering overtone of roast corn. It pours a clear coppery amber with a nice thick off-white head that sticks around a while. Flavor is rich and malty with hints of cloves and cinnamon, caramel, and corn, as well as a hint of hops and just a whisper of sweetness. Texture is fizzy and smooth, rather pleasing. Satisfying overall.

Nice toasty brown color. The beer has a nice thin head sitting Fairly pungent malt smell. This beer looks and smells fairly good. A little on the watery side. Of course, I get that toasted, butterish taste. This beer just lacks the body to carry the flavors. Nice sweet taste, but as many have noted this has a pretty dry finish as well. The aroma is stronger than the taste. The taste is just kind of short lived, if you ask me. I think this beer could be a lot better if they honed in on the palate and the flavor; those two aspects of this beer are lagging.

12 oz. Clear, copper-brown with a small ring of bubbles. Aroma of toasted walnut, toffee and cocoa. Flavors of caramel, tartish apple, light cocoa and oak. Medium body is smoothly carbonated and acidic-tingly and slightly roasty-dry.

12 oz. bottle - $1.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a deep, dark mehogany-hued body with a modestly-sized, ivory-colored head. Smell: Pleasantly aromatic maltiness with notes of toasted bread crusts, nuts, dark caramel candy, and a teeny tiny pinch of cocoa, supported by a spicy hop scent. Taste: Toasty, nutty, caramel-covered malts with a toothsome, sugar sweetness. Nearly indistinguishable cocoa hint. Lightly spicy hop character with a mild, subdued bitterness. Sweetish, lightly nutty finish, though the aftertaste dries out in a flash. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Yes, there’s just a pinch of chewiness to it. Drinkability: Recommended! Rather enjoyable and a pleasant surprise. I could cheerfully clear through a few of these in one sitting.
