In general I like Lancaster beers, but this was just not one of my favorites. I had a draught in the brewery. I found that it had a slight skunkiness to it. Maybe this is just something I’m not used to as I’m not a big rye beer drinker. Nice color, head and good presentation, but not my thing.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light copper with a thin diminishing head and some thin lace. Aroma is diacetyl even when freezing cold, and gets more intense as it warms- slight spicy earthy rye but the butter takes control. Flavor is lightly toasted malts some caramel, light sweetness, and buttered popcorn. Finish is light and earthy.

On tap. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of toasted grains, caramel, and some citrus. Tastes of toasted grains, caramel, and a trace of rye. Thinner body.

Sample at PCBF 08. Pours a translucent amber with golden notes and a medium bubbly off white head. Aroma of grainy malts, hints of citrus, some caramel, touch of rye and thats about it. Flavor of caramel, grainy sweet malts, some rye, bready and a touch of various fruits.

Draft at Max’s in Baltimore. Pours a pale golden amber with a white head. Faint undiscerning aroma. Medium bodied with a light texture. Initial flavor of pale malts and subtle rye countered by a subdued bitterness. Clean finish. While this beer is brewed well, I did not find it a very exciting session brew. For starters, this could have used more rye and a more interesting hop profile.

On tap at Lancaster Brewing. Arrived at the table a clear gold with a thin white head that faded to a film after a few sips. Light but pleasant aroma of malt and grain. A bit more flavorful with malt and rye both present. The rye flavor extended well into the finish. A bit thin. A decent session beer.

Draft at Clipper Magazine Stadium...pours amber in color, thin head...trace scents of citrus, malt...tastes much the same with also a grassy aspect...very thin mouth feel...very drinkable, considering it was a warm muggy night, but I’ve had better from LBC.
