Commercial Description:
A delicate balance of toasted malt and fresh hops give this medium-bodied German style lager an intriguing complex flavor. A creamy head, deep golden color and an impressive hop bouquet make this a very special beer.

Cloudy honey colored pour with short lived head. Smell is kind of a funky sweet malt. Not particularly inviting and perhaps on its way downhill. Taste is same funky off-flavored malt. Kind of like a pint of gauzy butterscotch goodness. I can’t get past the smell enough to take more than a couple sips of this, but I can see how some might like it...

A very aromatic beer. The aromas of cinnamon, apples, and caramel jump out. Flavor is spicy and fruity with a nice hop background. Some carbonation might help the palate. Alcohol seems higher than 5% and provides a nice warming effect. An interesting and well crafted beer.

Bottle: The aroma consists of butterscotch, light fruit, and faint grain. It pours a transparent amber with a small off-white head. The flavor starts with a pretty intense sour fruitiness. The finish has faint notes of butterscotch and grain that struggle to get thru the sourness. Light-bodied with a slightly watery mouthfeel. Pretty rough.

Bottle. Light caramel malt aroma. Amber with a small head. Light caramel malt flavor with a light hops finish. A subtle beer - nothing too bold with this beer.

Bottle from JUngle Jim’s. Poured clear amber color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Drinkable smooth brew.

This Wisconsin brewed amber ale is tough to beat locally. It has a dark golden appearance and a light white head. It isn’t overly "hoppy" so can be drank in quantities if needs be

Bottle@Home. Dough and orange aroma with hints of caramel. Hazy, amber color, beige head, few lace. Orange, dough and bitter flavor. Buttery feeling, light dry finish. Not very special, not refreshing.
