Smells like cake. Decent looking amber color with lacing. Flavor is interesting - sort of a lager/ale hybrid. A bit of an off aftertaste, but that’s just a minor gripe. A nice lager.

Medium orange color with a thick head. Aroma is malty with a hint of vanilla. Chewy body with crisp vienna malt flavor and a clean dry finish. An above-average lager that would be a decent session beer.

Deep copper/hazy orange with a great lasting head. Good carbonation and great lacing. Aroma is sweet and malty with hints of biscuit and vienna/munich malts. Also a fair amount of spiciness from the hops. Flavor is bready and malty with good amount of hops to balance it out. Low to medium body. Crisp finish and good mouthfeel. Pretty good overall, but Brooklyn is far better.

Bottle: pours light orange with a moderate off white head. Mildly hoppy aroma. Flavor is light, maybe some fruitiness, decent body, easy drinking. I can see this one swaying BMC drinkers over to the world of craft beer. This one should do it. Good.

Hazy orange pour with decent lacing. Very attractivee fruity aroma. Flavor is sweet with a pleasent citrus and malt mix. Not what I expected at all.

Pours golden nut brown with orange hints and a thin off-white head. Sour malt aroma with a yeast nose. Hoppy flavor with sour malt end. Palate is medium-bodied, fizzy and very refreshing. Thanks to dirtymike for this one.

Hazy apricot pour under a fluffy white head that stuck around a while. Mildly fruity aroma with plenty of rich malt and hops. Surprisingly flavorful lager with apples. plums, malt and some hoppy bitternes. Just a hint of spice and vanilla in the finish. Refreshing and worthy of some space in the fridge.
