Nice amber color,small off white head that had a decent hangtime then faded slowly to leave a little behind.The aroma was malty with a slight grainy side and a hint of hops.The flavor was not great but decent enough.Nice light malty side some hints of caramel and the hops are a bit on the light side but decent enough to be noticed.Pretty light brew flavor wise but still might make a decent summer brew.

Orange/amber color with a nice off white head. Bread and sweet malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a very smooth finish. A solid effort.

Clear copper body. Off-white creamy head. Aroma is of soda crackers mixed with hotel room and dry light chocolate. taste is fizzy and moderate sweet. Then a little bit of rye dryness kicks in. This is a little dark for a pale lager, but I think that probably added only good things to the flavor.

I was impressed by this beer. The bottle did not scream try me, but I figured why not. Pours a dark orange with an off-white head. There’s a hint of coffee in the aroma, but that’s about it. The taste was above average. Bold up front with a smooth finish. A touch of citrus?

12oz bottle-Medium to dark amber with an off white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma of malt. Medium body with a big malt taste. Would call this an amber not a pale lager.

Pours orange amber with little head. Aroma is weak, can’t distinguish anything. Very watery. Not much to this one.

Amber body, small white head. Faint malt and hops in the nose. Weak and watery. Flavor was negligible. Might make a decent Lawnmower beer but that’s about it.

Better than I thought it would be. Pours a medium amber with a small head. Aroma is light malt and very light hops. Taste seems a tad watered down but is still pretty good. Light malts and hops.
