vikingguy (138), Chaska, Minnesota, USA Oct 30, 2009 Pours amber-red with a fluffy off-white head. Spicy-floral hop aroma. Taste is much like the aroma, floral hops, grassy-maltiness, clean, not overpowering hops but it’s the main taste profile in this one. Slight notes of caramel. Clean, crisp and drinkable. Tastes like a vienna. sjmiller05 (12), Colorado, USA Oct 18, 2009 Pours with a nice copper color, thick head. Taste is smooth with a somewhat bitter aftertaste. This is a good summer/fall beer -- good with brats, burgers and other grilled foods. jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 14, 2009 (bottle). Clear amber color. Medium off white head which is mostly diminishing. Roasted malt aroma and flavor. Avg duration. Smooth finish with a very light bitterness. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing. jebert (110), Watertown, Wisconsin, USA Oct 4, 2009 Pours a beautiful reddish cooper crowned by a thick mop of tan foam. Aroma is hops and a hint of caramel. Creamy on the palate with a malty taste profile and a nice dry finish. Pairs well with summer foods such as burgers, brats, or pastrami. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 13, 2009 Bottled. Amber pour with barely any aroma to speak of. Hints of caramel malt and toast with a thin grain taste. Ehh. Bigmmartin (366), Dayton, Ohio, USA Sep 10, 2009 On tap at a local party. Not too bad really. A little sweet with a touch of hops. It has some flavor, so I can’t complain too much. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 26, 2009 12oz bottle quite awhile ago. One of the better reds I had at the time - better than Killian’s or Smithwicks, but not as good as the craft reds elsewhere in America. MoDog (909), Griffith, Indiana, USA Aug 18, 2009 12oz bottle served in a shaker. Poured a clear copper red hue with a thin, light tan head that disappeared in a few seconds. The aroma was surprisingly rich and malty. Full of caramel and light toast. The flavor had sweet toasted malt, caramel, and a quick crisp hop bite at the finish. Medium-bodied with a light amount of prickly carbonation. Actually pretty decent. A nice flavorful lager.
