Apr 20, 2009 You know this beer is good right when you pour it in the glass. Dark amber color with thick head. The aroma is exceptional, sort of sweet and hoppy. Definitely one of the best lager’s around! I can’t wait to try more of the sam adams line

Apr 17, 2009 Much better than most American lagers I’ve had. A lot more color to it as well. I am very happy with this beer. Very nice hop and malt balance. A sweeter taste without all that rice and corn filler. Also a bit creamier than most lagers.

Apr 16, 2009 On tap. It has been awhile since I had this beer. While it is certainly not in the league of delicious craft brew, it is a big notch above macro stuff. Grain and yeast flavors with a tad hop nose and aftertaste.

Apr 15, 2009 Color is red and yellowish gold, clear amber.
Smell is caramel with a hint of grain and hops.
The taste is a bit sweet at first and then a bit bitter once it rolls around on your tongue. Nice toasty malt taste.
Smooth drinkability. Well balanced.
This is a beer I have often and is one of the best beers to have with a meal as well.

Apr 11, 2009 Updated: Aug 24, 2009Well, an OK beer. Enjoyably drinkable, but a little lacking when it comes to complexity of flavor and aroma; however, that’s in comparison to the ale family. Consistency was a little thin and watery; palate could have been better. ---- When warmed a bit, palate is less watery and a flavor balance between malt and hops is discernible. Aroma also improves.

Apr 11, 2009 Beautiful floral hop bouquet, light two-row malt aroma as well. Very inviting.
Light amber with a slight chill haze. Very nice chalk-white head that lasts.
The flavor is smooth malt with a slight hop bite. Very clean tasting beer that does not have a long lasting aftertaste. The noble hops are noteable in the finish. High level of carbonation. Very well balanced beer.
