Good brown ale with a hint of maple. Nice color with a weak aroma. Fading head leads to a less than average brew. Good to have around a gathering of people, but not for a beer enthusiast nor for someone who drinks to purposely get drunk. Not awful but needs redone.

Pint at the Gasthaus in a freezer chilled glass. Amber to brown in color with a quickly adding off white head. Aroma of caramel, nuts and sweet malt, too sweet and candied. Taste falls in line with the aroma, too sweet. Some nutty qualities to it but mostly just a carameled up Leinie’s, which isn’t that good of a thing.

Pours a lifeless reddish brown color with no lasting head whatsoever. Clear, and a bit thin looking. Smell is lightly fruity, nutty smooth and sweet malt. Taste is fruity, sweet and artificial candy like with a bit of nutty malt flavor and odd sweet lingering finish and some light yeastiness. Lots of vanilla extract like flavor to it, which really becomes offputting after a while. Medium to light body with moderate carbonation. Strange flavor, and not a beer I’d recommend.

Sampled from a Bottle. Poured a Light Orange/Brown with a very small head. Has a nutty aroma with a little caramel. very watery flavor with hazlenut finish. Not enough body or flavor for me from a Brown Lager. Glad I didn’t buy it.

Amber with red-orange hues and a head that fades to a thin layer. Aroma of stale Britt hopes, perhaps a touch of caramel and nuttinessh. Medium body with Britt hop flavor and moderate bitterness. Perhaps some nuttiness. Lackluster.

Poured into a pint glass. Light orange-brown color with a fizzy off-white head. Aroma is hazelnut extract and cheap milk chocolate. Very sweet and nutty. Literally tastes like washing down a Reeses peanut butter cup with Perrier. Slight mineral finish. Watery and artificial.

Bottle. I had a choice between miller light and this at a party, and it was much better than the other choice. Flavors of hazelnut and caramel with a nice cinnamon finish. Not bad

i enjoyed it to a point, the sweetness was a bit much after two, but would try again with the knowledge that two would be my limit and switch to something less malty
