Jun 11, 2008 Bottle. Noble hop nose, golden body, small white head. Not terribly malty, fairly clean for a US lager. Nothing very special here.

Jun 4, 2008 Bottled, BB 04/08. Poured clear, orangey-golden with a short, sticky cap of white head. The aroma picked up soft bready notes and caramel primarily with some wet grainy and and grassy accents. The flavor had a mostly bready base with a little toffee and honey sweetness down there.. light grassy and grainy bitterness on the sides with a hint of cardboard.. finished with dry, grainy caramel and honey sweetness. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.. dry overall and spicier on the back.. not bad, but very average in all facets of the drink.

Jun 2, 2008 not a bad one, does have a nice texture, has a bit of a sweet hop flavor initially that turns a bit dry in the aftertaste.

Jun 2, 2008 Received from Beer of the Month Club: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a slightly cloudy, golden brown body, topped with a medium head of off-white foam, which mostly diminished. Aroma is slightly nutty with malt thrown in. Initially bitter with a light, dry mouthfeel, this lager has moderate hopping, which overtakes the sweetness of the malt. Bitter hops aftertaste lingered for quite sometime. This is a slightly better than average beer that played a bit of a switcheroo with my palate. I was expecting a bit more malty sweetness and was given a dry, balanced hop experience.

May 26, 2008 Draft at the Portsmouth Brewery - Poured a golden amber in color with a small whitish head that faded quickly. Aroma was malty with hints of fruit and flowery hops. Flavor was malty and slightly sweet with a very small amount of hops. Somewhat disappointing for such a god brewer...

May 25, 2008 Clear dark gold with a thin head. Fruity, floral, malty aroma. Sweet malty flavor with a hint of spicy hops. Excellent body for the alcohol. One of the best US versions of the style I’ve had and under rated IMO.
