Bottle. Light golden brown, not much head. Aroma is brown bread, caramel. Taste is good, lots of malt, sweet, low carbonation, smooth, slight spiciness. Doesn't seem like a premium lager to me!

Bottle from Good Beer. Rich, malty nose, grains, some caramel, biscuits, a bit worty. A tiny touch of grassy hops. Deep amber-orange with a low head. Rich and malty flavor, fruity, grains, bread. A touch of cardboard and grass, with a bit of peppery hops at the finish. Seriously low on hops. Nice malt, and smooth, but not a whole lot happening. Not as convincing as it was a few years back. Bottle. 2009 7/3/7/4/14. It was rather rich and full-bodied, with a decent malt character. A bit too sweet, really, but nice and slightly biscuity. It had a strong caramel flavor, and some vanilla as well. There weren’t a lot of hops, maybe not quite enough, but it was overall a nice tasting, all-malt beer with decent complexity.
