Tap @ Sly Fox. Poured a clear amber color with a small off-white head. The aroma and flavor were of toasted malt and not much more. The flavor was smooth with little bitterness on the finish. There was however a hint of hop flavor.

Poured a copper color with a smal,l off white, sticky, head and left spotty lacing on the glass. Sweet malty, light fruit (berries), and a yeasty, earth aroma. Taste was very malty, some light citrus and other bright fruits, thought it finished very dry. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

Poured a translucent golden amber with a great lacing off white head. Aroma of caramel and light sweet malts along with some citrus. Flavors of the same, heavy on the malts. I thought this was a solid lager.
