12 ounce can from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a reddish copper color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Pleasant aroma with sweet malts and fruit notes. Slight leafy hop notes. Taste is peach, pear and other fruity notes with a touch of grain. Medium bodied.

Pours a gold color with a thin creamy head which leaves a few streaks of soapy lacing. Aroma is floral hops, grains, and some nutty malts. Taste is soapy hops and sweet malts. Drinkable.

Pours a light golden color. Aroma is of light soap and floral hops. Some cereal grain aromas shine through. Taste is light caramel, toasted grain, and some sweet malt. Not bad, but nothing outstanding either.

Copper color with taller light beige head. Malty, nearly to the point of worty in scent. HInts of toast and a a bit of herbal hops. Some acidic malt in the flavors as I take the first quaff. Toasted and raw malt flavors. Some floral hops flavors in the background. FInishes sweeter with again some floral flavors. Things just do not seem to come together in this one. I find things that I like and then suddenly there is something to contradict it. JUst now I had a great malt linger; then I take another gulp and it’s gone.

Cheers to vasdef42 for the can. Pours nice amber with white head. Can will lead to confusion has it calls itself an amber ale, then a malt liquor, and RB has it as a dark lager. Has some very nice and sweet caramel malts with roasted touch. Taste is very sweet, caramel malts with light notes of floral hops. Finish is light with faint bitter undertones. Good brew.

Can. Pours a clear copper color with a medium off-white head. The aroma is full of caramel malt, some sweet, almost berry notes, and a bit of hops. The flavor is very nice, sweet caramel, some fruit, lots of malt, and a light hop finish. A nice lager for sure. Light bready and fruit flavors. Very quaffable.
