You know, I truly enjoyed this beer. Not much aroma but looks nice. Flavor was light, a little malty and very effervescent. A nice springy finish. A case of the right beer at the right time.

355 ml, bbe June 07. Hazy copper-orange with a medium and lasting head that leaves some nice cobwebs. Spiced apples, molasses, and chocolate aroma. Tangy-spiced and fruity, English-style malt with hints of chocolate and nuts on the front. Turns more earthy-spiced and bitterish-nutty on the finish. Palate is nearly medium-bodied, tingly and refreshing. Wow, I just noticed this is a lager! This is about the best flavor I have had in an American lager in umm... well, possibly ever? Damn this tastes like a good ESB! C’mon people, rate the beer against its peers, in its style! Way underrated.

I didn’t have high expectations, but this one was rather tasty, shouting to me that it was a lager rather than an ale (thought I bought an amber ale until that first sip). The vienna malts were at the fore, bready sweet, toasty, with mild nuts underneath, even a hint of spicing typical of an amber lager. All malt, but smooth and tasty.

I don’t usually heap lavish praise on the Amber style, but I am gonna shovel some on this nice lil’ brew. Perhaps it was the backdrop of majestic mountains of Idaho Springs; maybe it was the cool crisp Colorado air. Maybe there was magic in the air. Probably a bit of all three. This is a goooood beer. I had it from a can, a bottle, and on tap. Good stuff. Can’t wait to get back and have another.

on tap-pours an offwhite head with a red body. Aroma is grain. Taste is malty grain, creamy, nice and good carbonation.

12 oz bottle via Arctic Liquors Beer of The month club. Pours a semi clear dark amber with a small white head. Not getting much from the nose, perhaps a little bit of vanilla and some spicey hops, as well as a little butterscotch. Taste starts with some molasses, then some toasted grains and some subtle grassy hops. Low carbonation. medium body. Pretty easy to drink with a tasty nutty aftertaste.

I find this beer very satisfying. Deep caramel malts with a slight syrupy feel. Its got a robust feel and taste.
