Commercial Description:
This smooth brew ushers in Autumn with an invitingly tawny color complemented by an assertive maltiness. A noble crispness from German and Czech hops completes this very traditional lager-style beer.

Pours a transparent orange amber with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of toasty grainy caramel malt and a touch of noble hops. Body starts with a decent authentic caramely malty sweetness and effervescent carbonation before a bittersweet, drier, peppery finish. Pretty true to style and drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of light spice and caramel. Tastes sweet and caramelly with a touch of roses, some earthy hints and a spicy finish.

12oz bottle, 2007 version. Dark rusty orange color, clear. Bad nose of soggy wheat bread, corn, and some sweaty dog food scents. Surprisingly, it doesn’t taste so bad, with some chewy and semi-sweet caramel and woody maple malt flavors. Thin, kind of boring, but other than the smell it’s okay.

Of the five Lancaster brews I have had all but one has rated a 4 in appearance. They seem to make good looking brews. Bright dark copper color with a tall light tan head that diminishes leaving a creamy lid and sheets of lace. Mild toasted bread with a hint of floral hops. Simple, yet effective malt flavors. Lightly toasted and very long. Linger is one in which the malt invites you back to imbibe some more. Not a great oktoberfest, but a drinkable malty amber lager.

Draft at the Drafting Room, Spring House, PA. Poured coppery, with aroma of malt, toffee, some nuts, and chardonnay. Somewhat light on the palate, with the characteristic malt/toffee finish. A nice beer.
