Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 23, 2008 Bottle. Poured with quite a roar of carbonation that quickly turned into a meow. The aroma is quite biscuity, like freshly baked dark bread. Drinks with a full caramel coke, rich and malty, and a kiss of hop at the finish. (#3432, 4/23/2008) wheninhell (478), louisville, Kentucky, USA Jun 23, 2007 Thanks to Immy and maniac for this one! crystal clear orange amber nice lasting off white head. good lacing. nice apricot biscuit caramel aroma. sweet dried apricot biscuit flavor with a nice bitter caramel and grassy hop backbone. bitter dry grassy finish with a big biscuit presence some caramel and dried apricot. light to medium body. lively carbonation. quite a surprise. i enjoyed this one quite a bit. Thanks again guys! MacDaddyOJake (274), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 20, 2007 A surprise hoppiness hit me when I opened the bottle. Slight fruityness to the aroma that almost had a hint of berries. Taste was similar but was rounded out by a malty backbone. I hope to see this in 6-packs as I could easily drink a few in one sitting and not tire of it one bit! Kinz (1916), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Apr 17, 2008 At long last, the elusive spring lager that I’ve been missing for years. Deep gold in color, decent head, clear. Aroma was sweet honey accented malts and some floral hops. Flavor matched, definitely pushing on the sweet honey side of the malt world. Hop focused with some balancing noble hops on the finish. Nicely done brew, just a touch sweeter than I like. I would have preferred things to be a bit cleaner. crzybob77 (519), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 24, 2006 Was pleasantly suprised at the nice hop balance of this beer. Generally i would have thought of a spring lager as a being crisp, light, and malty, but this takes that and adds respectable hop backbone. Cheers.
