Apr 28, 2006 Pours reddish copper with a small white head. The aroma is roasted malt with some clean caramel. It is medium bodied with a slick feel and medium/sharp carbonation. The tast is rich roasted caramel with a sharp hop bite. The taste is crisper than the description suggest. The finish is sour hoppy - the sourness seems right, not like something went wrong causing it. The finish becomes more of a clear bitterness further down the glass. Nice beer.

Apr 25, 2006 Updated: Apr 27, 200612oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a deeper, and clear, copper color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, a little earthy and somewhat spicy. Tastes of caramel, biscuit, and toasted nuts. Body a tad on the thin side.

Apr 20, 2006 This was OK. I didn’t dislike it but it is a hoppy beer which is something I don’t like. The sourness is what turns be off. I like flavor and the sweetness found here is pleasent, but the over hopping keep it from being a beer I would seek out again. Looks good color wise but though I was born in Cleveland this is only average

Apr 11, 2006 Updated: Jul 6, 200712oz bottle, please enjoy by JUN 07/06. Pours a clear brownish amber with a small eggshell head. Aromas of spicy hops, caramel and toffee malts. Some nuttiness up front followed by the same sweet caramel and toffee into a mildly bitter finish. Some biscuity malts toward the end as well. Mildly carbonated, soft on the palate with a medium body. Good, but not fantastic.

Apr 9, 2006 Nice look, weak aroma. Body is a dark brownish copper... tarnished penny, with a foamy head. Aroma is grainy and a little yeasty. Mouthfeel is a little watery, but flavor is pretty nice. Flavor is grainy with toffee/caramel notes of sweetness and a bit of hops crispness in the finish. Very refreshing, but not very hearty.

Mar 24, 2006 From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a blurb about the lager and a best before on the side of label. Made a good appearance, poured a red hued amber with a small foamy pale tan head that settled into a thin, semi-clingy lacing, good, active carbonation. Had a nice toasted grainy nose with whiffs of floral and herbal hops and a quiet sweetness around the edges. A smooth, chewy, full feeling, light bodied mouth feel, very good drinkability. A big, delicious toasted grainy and caramel malty taste, a gentle herbal bitterness showing up towards the middle and a dry, semi-sweet, grainy finish, highly quaffable.

does not count  Mar 14, 2006 deep amber color, strong aroma, sweet and smokey. The palate is awesome. Thick in the mouth, a great palate for a lager. Great taste, not too strong aftertaste. I was really impressed with this one

Mar 5, 2006 And I thought it would be a real bummer to have Eliot Ness show up to a beer tasting, eleven brews in. Quite the contrary. An amber lager with a kind note of malty-sweetness. Untouchably refreshing. Drinking this is better than smashing a cart full of barrels. Unless of course, you’re Eliot Ness.
