Pours clear deep amber, with a small tan head that slightly lasts, and leaves a very small bit of lacing. Aroma strong on sweet caramel, lightly nutty, and some toasted grains. Flavor starts with caramel spread on some toasted whole grain bread, ends with a slightly spicy hop finish. Medium body, very drinkable.

Nov 22, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 11/22/09
Aroma: The nose has lots of caramel, toffee, and sweet fruits, with notes of cereal/bread and earthy hops
Appearance: Pours a clear amber color with a disappearing off-white head and light lace
Flavor: Flavor is medium-high sweetness, with a bit of earthy bitterness for balance
Palate: The body is light-medium, with some lively carbonation, and a somewhat sticky mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
Overall, this is turns out to be a well-structured and tasty beer, maybe a drop too sweet for my palate, but very good none-the-less. One that works well as both a highly drinkable brew, and a nice example of its style. Truly a nice beer that, that you might say even borders on being "Untouchable" (sorry, I couldn’t resist, it was just too easy...) No, it’s not quite that good, but it is really solid, and I can’t pass up an easy joke.

Nov 14, 2009 Sampled at 2009 Pittsburgh Brufest. Poured a nice amber color with a frothy white head that left some lacing. Basic malty aroma. Good flavors of caramel malt, wheat, and some fruit. Not usually a big fan of this style but this was definitely good.

Nov 10, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with caramel, toasted grain, apricots and orange peel. Malty taste with notes of toasty grain, caramel, a touch of orange and apricots. Turning into a bready finish with a mild, spicy bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Well balanced and tasty beer.

Oct 22, 2009 This has a rich, malty aroma and a nice ruby amber color. The flavor is smooth and quite tasty for a lager, with a whopping 6.2% to boot. This is one of the best lager’s I’ve ever tasted.
