| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Purchased at the Headkeeper in Greensburg, looking for something different from my RIS routine.
Looks decent, not much head, dark brown liquid, nice carbonation saves it from being just average.
Smells kind of fruity, lightly spicy. Reminds me of an adjunct lager but cleaner.
Tastes very crisp and dry, again almost lagery, which makes sense considering this is basically a "Lagered ale." Not much in the way of depth but refreshing no less.
Mouth is thin and high in carbonation.
Good, may have to give this one another go. fluffy (229), Florida, USA

Aroma of sweet caramel malts. Taste is mostly caramel malts with some darker toffee notes. Light hoppy finish. Light, yet creamy, palate. A pretty basic beer, but seems well made and refreshing to me.
