Feb 16, 2008 This beer poured from the bottle a really nice deep red Honey color. The initial aroma was only faint and more of hops. There was a hint of redcabbage and saurkraut when poured. The head was modest but nice lace. The taste was veryy well balanced with just a good level of sweetness followed by mild bitter hops. tirstquenching for sure

Feb 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange/copper with a big off white head. Sweet malt aroma with caramel and spice notes, as well as a hint of floral hops. Medium body. Flavor is caramel malt with a bit of spice. Hops are noticeable. Pretty good.

Feb 13, 2008 The color was medium copper. The head was thick, frothy, off-white, and laced the glass. The aroma was some spice, sweet, caramel malt, and pumpkin. The flavor was coppery, somewhat hoppy, sweet, and caramel malt. The palate was thin and barely carbonated. The finish was clean

Feb 13, 2008 Thanks polomagnifico. Pours a very nice pretty auburn with a billowing creamy tan head. Smells like autumn, leaves, sweet malt, caramel, pumpkin, sweet spice. The flavor is nice and malty, sweet malts, light grassy hops, pumpkin meat, easy to drink. The palate is a little strange, absolutely zero carbonation in my sample despite the profuse head.

Feb 13, 2008 Bottle but I see from other raters can get this on tap, would like to have it on tape also and re-rate. Amber pour Lager, small head nice lacing but disappears quick. Malt and hops mix with a crisp kind of bitter sweet finish. Another from a sampler pack, would like to try this again.

Feb 9, 2008 Pours dark amber with a thick frothy tan head. Aroma of malt and molasses. Malt and yeast flavor that turns into a dry hop finish. Light to medium body. Overall a good lager.

Feb 2, 2008 It looked pretty...that much I’ll say for it. A deep amber/red pour with a thick head. The aroma was very wheaty and malty. To this point, it seemed as if it would be a terrific drink. Sadly, while the finish was crisp and clean, it tasted very much like rubbing alcohol with a bit of malt and hops mixed in. Judging by the other reviews on this board, I am certainly in the minority, but I’ve tried this drink on several occasions from both tap and bottle and my opinion hasn’t been changed. Not a drink a recommend and, in my opinion, far inferior to a number of offerings from the same brewery.

Feb 1, 2008 If a pour can be described as ’pretty’, this is that pour: garnet red with a very thick white head that diminishes pretty quick and leaves very nice lacing. Light wheat and caramel malt aroma. Flavor is more intense than the aroma with a bready flavor up front that quickly translates into a hoppy mixture with pretty strong bitterness. The finish has a great residual sweetness from the caramel malt flavors, one of the better finishes I’ve had in some time! Light, yet smooth on the palate with some slight oiliness. I’ve had a few other offerings by GL in the past, but this is the first one I’ve rated, and I don’t think I can remember one better than the Ness!
