Bottle. Ok, i finally got this style. Found it at Hop City Craft Beer and Wine in Atlanta. Unfortunately, I had to buy a whole 12 pack to get it. I just have one comment. This style is nothing but an Amber Lager or a Marzen beer. Amber in color with hardly any head. Taste is a malty tastes beer. Aroma is malts with very light hints of caramel.

A few bottles circa 2011, from notes. Clear, amber, medium-to-large beige head showing moderate retention. Spicy hop notes with some strongly bready malts and low minerality. Seemingly moderate to high attenuation. Clean. Malty, though very highly carbonated breaking up the maltiness. I like the spicy hop character, though the bready, caramelly malts quite a bit less. Drinks pretty substantially and filling from all the carbonation. Clean. Mine must have sat in the fridge long enough to clean up the diacetyl.

11fl.oz. stubby bottle. Pours a clear copper with a small, creamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of toasted malt, bread, caramel, wheat, earth and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of toasted malt, caramel, toffee, bread, earth and herb tea with a smooth, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Clean and easy drinking.

15th Jan 2018, dumpy 11 oz bottle into a Lowenbrau (Munchen) stemmed glass while on holiday in California. Amber body with a red hue, wispy off-white head. Caramel esters and flavours seem to be the most forward, light spicy notes within the taste. Nice.

Not brilliant, but drinkable, reminiscent of a Scotch ale brewed with lager yeast. Caramel, toffee, and grain from the malts, while very sparse hopping adds a modicum of floral bitterness to the finish. Apple esters and a touch of pine show up in the fade. Flat, uninteresting aroma is mostly wet grain and some yeast. Pours an ugly orange-brown barely giving up a head and no lacing. Texture's medium-bodied and sparkly enough to keep from growing cloy. Unspectacular red lager. Eh.

Had this before, not sure what happened to my rating, let’s try this again hoping this won’t get erased.
Poured into a pilsener glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt semi-dark orange color with a finger and a half of white foamy head. Left some nice sticky lace.
The aroma had a slight breadiness/somewhat like toast with some grassy hops and a light allspice. Some floral hops bite in for a decent balance. And then some caramel/toffee malts.
The flavor blended all of the previously mentioned flavors and then adds in a sly earthiness and subtle nuttiness. Smooth sweet bready and nutty aftertaste leading into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and the ABV feels good for how it comes across.
Overall, hoping this doesn’t erase this time. Ratebeer is usually good about emailing me when a beer changes styles or a duplicate is found. Good thing I have backups elsewhere. Yes, I would have it again if I could find it.

(Thanks, James! "jbruner") Bottle. A- Caramel, malty, candy, biscuits, fruity. A- Red copper color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Bready, malty, caramel, hard fruity candy, subtle white pepper. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Finally, my last style! Huge thanks to James on this one. Bottle was a year past the best by date but it was still tasty. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. A unique fruity candy like accent in the aroma and taste. I want to try more of this impossible to get style now.

Fun little stubby bottle pours out a redish amber topped with a small sand head. Nose is toast malts some toffee sweetness and a spice. Taste is more of the spice toasted bread malts and some earth tones.
