Sep 2, 2009 This reddish amber beer poured with a huge beige head and a smoky aroma. It’s got a decent caramel malt base and some nice hop bitteness, but it’s too watery. A pretty good amber ale.

Jul 24, 2009 Bottle. Grocery Outlet in Berkeley. Pours deep amber with small off-white head. Aroma of very light herbal and mild citrus-like hops, toasted malt. Flavor is slightly sweet with lingering hop bitterness. Not much complexity, but not a bad sessionable dark(er) lager. Closer to a vienna or american dark in style, really.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle from Grocery Outlet. Pours a copper color with a decent off-white head. Aromas of pepper, floral hop and caramel. Tickles my nose. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is berry?, wood, caramel, leather, pepper? It’s a bit bready, but has some fruit. Finishes mildly bitter. Surprising. Good.

May 22, 2009 THOUGHTS: It was sort of odd to me that this lager reminded me of a British ale. It was also maybe ever so slightly skunked. I probably needed to have this one colder than I did. Didn’t like it much. But I’ll probably try it again to see if this was just a bad bottle. Not awful.
TECHNICAL: Bottle Poured Light orangey amber with an average to large, slightly off-white head that left good lacing. It also had extremely tiny body particles of average to thick density. The aroma was light to moderate toasted, nutty and caramel malts, moderate herbal and grassy hops, along with maybe a little resinous hops. There was also a little rubber and a little citrus. The initial flavor was sweet and a little acidic; while the finish was slightly sour and lightly bitter with an average duration. There was caramel, toasted and nutty malts, a little sour citrus, then light grassy and herbal hops, and a little metallic hops and that rubbery thing from the aroma. The light to medium body was fairly dry with tingly carbonation and a light astringent finish.
