This amber colored brew has a slightly sweet taste. It’s not a ’big’ beer, but is good in its own right. I thought it was a better than average session beer.

This beer is a deep orange color with light lacing of the head. Slightly malty with caramel notes. The body had hints of hoppiness, but they faded quickly. More bitterness shows as the beer warms just slightly.

From Draft at Old Columbia brewery. A very nice amber lager. Nice copper color, medium head retention. Caramel malty taste balanced with a hoppy finish. Not my favorite KS beer but a good beer to take to parties where the normal beer offered is MGD. Nice way to introduce people to micro brews.

On tap. Poured a dark amber color with a small off white head. Sweet and malty. Toffee and caramel. A little one dimensional for my tastes.

Malty. Not really feeling the "touch of spice from the hops". Good beer to throw down the hatch all damn night. Yaaaayyy!

Bottle: Light copper colour. Sweet aroma of berries, caramel. Taste is sweet and fruity, nice bittersweet and full of character.

Copper brass color with a thin white pillow head. Aroma is light and resembles a pale lager. A tad sweet flavor of caramel and malt. Not much spice or hop noticed, but i do like the sour notes of green grape given off. A standard beer that i could drink a whole keg of.
