| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Pours clear amber with a 2 finger fizzy white head that has decent retention. Aroma and flavor are grainy, hints of caramel and toasted nuts, very little hops other than a slight bitterness and planty notes toaward the finish. A fairly inoffensive but toned down and un interesting amber. Darkover (1317), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 20, 2009 Clear copper color with a beige head. Aroma and flavor of grain and corn malts. Some bitterness in the finish. Rustyham (598), miami, Florida, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Apr 20, 2009 Litlle purple hint with no smell. Slight bitterness and crispness. I have never liked this brewery. At Beerfest Miami 09 tronraner (1939), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 19, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light copper with small ecrue head. The aroma is grain, nut shells, some caramel, and a strange, dark earthiness. The flavor is a little bit more caramel-focused with some huskiness and a bit of corn. There’s some herbal bitterness to the finish that makes it crisp, but still seems a little bit awkward. I don’t much care for it. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 17, 2009 On tap at Marie’s Pizza. Clear amber with medium beige head. Aroma is caramel and light with some graininess and slight nuttiness. Flavor is off-dry caramel with subtle hops, and citrus. Medium to light body with active carbonation. Solid but uninteresting. marcus (1911), Sacramento, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 14, 2009 This amber ale poured with a decent off-white head and a toffee aroma. There is an interesting caramel and smoked malt flavor with some decent hopping. Not as bad as I thought it would be. ben4321 (1061), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 13, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 4/13/09
Aroma: Caramel, nuts, toasty, touch of honey
Appearance: Not amber as you might expect from the name...Golden, clear, little beige head
Flavor: Mostly malty sweetness, taste comes from the hops, but it is almost all malts, very much lager in the taste
Palate: Light-Medium body
Overall Impression:
A pretty average, but solid amber lager. You know, it’s not bad...but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
