YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany Apr 27, 2007 While hopspicking at the brewery - ah the memories - in September 2006: Nice orange color, fizzy carbonation, lace like head. Huge rye nowe, also some hoppy tones - long lasting finish. jazz88 (2235), San Francisco, California, USA Nov 15, 2006 Tap. A muddy brown color. RIch malty toasted bread flavor with a semi-sweet, chocolate and robust flavor. Rating from 11/05 notes. pivo (2535), Germany Aug 29, 2006 Grainy beadynose, brownish amber color, fluff head. Bready caramelly malt bas, spicy hop end. Big taste, bold. Interesting blend of malts and hops. Well done. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Jul 18, 2006 Draft. Bronze beer with a nice off-white head. Earthy/spicey aroma that seems to be mostly from the rye. Spicy/earthy flavor - light citrus/slight wheat. Again rye adds most to the contribution. Some metallic tones. Light grassy finish. Didn’t get much toasty flavor. FlySwatter (34), USA Jul 11, 2006 Thanks again to Fly. Very good lager with a nice toasty flavor that finishes clean. fly (1331), austin, Tejas, USA Jul 10, 2006 This beer is a rather nice lager with a light to medium bitterness clean finish. Think that as much as I like this beer, I’m as much impressed by the brewing abilities of Brian in his creation of excellent lagers, his kindness and that of Joe in helping to get this beer to me. THANKS! joet (1699), Fulton, California, USA Jul 5, 2006 Big and round with a substantial and lightly creamy body economically powered by light-medium effervescence. The hop mix yields some neroli bitterness tinged by agreeable phenolic hues. Some light even fruitless carmels, lightly toasty add to the experience in ample but subdued amounts. Alcohol seems wholly cloaked in taste and flavor by otherwise apparent. This is a surprisingly quaffable big sipper I’ll have to sit down with again. Another big winner from Brian Hunt.
