Aug 4, 2008 This brew is a mostly clear light amber color with a medium thin and creamy off-white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt with touches of ripe fruit and spice. Light, clean body with flavors of doughy malt, light hops and sweet fruits. The finish is mldly spiced with a fruity aftertaste. Just average overall, and difficult to categorize.

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 25, 2008bottle 12 oz dated 082208. Not quite clear amber/gold pour produced a minimal, quickly dissipating off white head, almost no lace. Aroma hints of somewhat sweet metallic/English maltiness that full sail seems to use in many of their brews.
Flavor is the same somewhat sweet maltiness having a somewhat viscous above average abv characteristic to it.
Into medium bodied with plenty of hop bitterness especially on the finish. Discernable hop flavor was lacking.
I think the same ingredients would have made a better mild English style ale. The above average lager abv is a liability IMO.
I don’t know who or what this above average abv offering was aimed at but good luck. I’ll remember now to steer clear of it.
I would not use the word crisp to describe this brew. 8/25/08 I’m dropping this .2 to 2.7. Too alcohol and sweetness forward for me. The 6er was harder to finish than I thought.

Jul 26, 2008 shiny bronze lager with a nice white head finely beaded and slight bit of lace.
Grassy floral hop nose with a low malt (cracker like)
Flavor: Dry cracker like (almost touch of breadiness) with clean hop bite spicy, floral and grassy again
Finish: Dry long lasting with spicy hop and a touch of malt sweetness
Overall: A really nicely made lager quite enjoyable - is it something to search for not sure but nothing to pass up. There is a touch of caramel in the finish which seems to distract from the finish which leans towards being clean.
Cheers!
