Jan 3, 2007 Whisky-colored, a little sticky-lookin’, with a foamy, whitish head. More grassy aromas here (as in other Millstreams this evening) with touches of malt and alcohol creeping in beneath. Sweetly malted flavor albeit a little thin. I called this a "Vienna" in my notes, FWIW.

Dec 28, 2006 Very easy drinking lager with a mahogany body and quickly dissolving head. Sweet flavor leaves very little on the palate, albeit some brown sugary aftertaste. For those folks that feel that the only good beers are those that are very complex or hoppy, avoid this at all costs...for those who are looking for an easy drinking brew that has a pretty good flavor, go take a drive through Iowa and pick yourself up a sixer

Dec 14, 2006 Golden amber, little head w/ some spots of lace. Typical Millstream character--sweet w/o much in the way of hops. Drinkable but like all their beers there’s nothing special.

Dec 10, 2006 Bottle. Relatively faint aroma with some malt notes. Amber in color with a thin, white head. Nice color. Basic marzen. Blah, basic.

Dec 7, 2006 Beautiful, rich amber color -- too bad there wasn’t much of a head to go with it. Aroma is nice, but I wish there was more of that, too. Semi-sweet malty aroma. Flavor is nicely balanced -- malts are noticed first, then a gentle hop bitterness in the finish. Good carbonation, yet a little on the watery side. Very drinkable. I think this is one of Millstream’s better offerings.

Nov 6, 2006 Bottle. Nice color and head. Slightly malty flavor. This was my favorite of the Mill Stream beers until I tried their pilsner.

Oct 25, 2006 12oz bottle. Deep red ruby hue. Minimal white head. Soggy soapy nose. Rich, smooth medium malt character. Somewhat crisp. But not quite sharp. Nice subtle rounding between the grainy caramel malts and the nutty, piney woody soapy hop finish. Lingering stickiness. Sugary. Not too bad.
