Pours a light brownish colour with a red hue, small off white head, with subtle carmel undertones, touch of coffee, roasted malts and acidic, semi sweet flavor. finishes, drier with a decent amount of (saaz perhaps?) hops.

Bottle from Three Cellars Not much in way of aroma. Heavy unbalanced flavor. Not very good.

Pours a hazed amber color w/ a tall froth that lingers. Aromas of hopsy caramel malt. Medium nectar and totaly flat. All the effers went up in the frothy plume. A decent malt body w/ a mild hop component. This is a very standard amber w/ little unique character. The finish is bittered mildly leaving a citrusy twitch. This aint’ no Marzen.

Very bland overall, not enough flavor. Goes down smooth, with a slight amber finish

Dark amber with thin white head. Aroma is skunk and wet dishrags that have been sitting on the sink for days. Flavor is malt and corn, metalic finish. Blah!!
