pours amber in color with 2 fingers of white head that dissipate to a film on the top. aroma is full of melanoidins, mmm toasty, great malty flavor and aroma. hops are very nicely balanced and add a spicy complexity. good medium body. an excellent lager.

Sep 12, 2008 My reaction to most lagers is to say, "only a lager" and that’s almost true of this one. Yes, a Vienna malt looks a little better, with a rich dark copper tone, and tastes a little better, with more caramel and nutty overtones. Still just a lager, but a good one, with nice floral notes up front and a touch of bitterness in the finish.

Jul 26, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Aroma of tart raspberry, crisp apple, some alcohol. Flavor earthy fruity sweetness. Tartish finish, and pretty easy drinking despite the sweetness.

Jul 21, 2008 draft at Victory: dark red color with a warm peachy aroma. heavy maltiness with flavors of caramel and bubblegum, but also some light floral and peach/nectarine flavors. long, floral finish. not exactly my cup of tea, but i think my wife liked it.

Jul 16, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep amber/light brown colour. A bit of ruby highlights. The aroma is nutty and quite malty. A lot of toast and sweet chewy maltiness. Quite peppery and alcoholic to me, especially as it starts to warm. Strange sticky sweetness as well. Meh, it doesn’t really do it for me.
