Finally, a beer that pays homage to the hard working folks in our Valley; the trail crews and farmers, the lumberjacks and firefighters, we brew this for you. With a thirsty throat in mind, we’ve created an amber lager that features a smooth, medium body, with a rich toasted malt aroma. The initial malty sweetness finishes fresh and clean... unlike its name. No need to wash up, just wash down.

12 oz can. I could have sworn I rated this years ago on Ratebeer. Pours lightly hazy amber with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Aroma has notes of bread, caramel. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness backed by mild bready and caramel malt sweetness. Near perfect palate for style with just the right amount of carbonation and a creamy/verging on prickly mouthfeel.

This is a decent, basic old school run of the mill but very drinkable amber beer. Good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear amber with a large foamy off-white head. Med body. Flavor is toasted malt with some floral notes. Not really sweet, but malty. Definitely a good off-setting level of bitterness.

Thanks Frank.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a semi-dark copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Lace is sticky and stringy.
The aroma had some sweet to roasty caramel malts up front then some breadiness, somewhat clean yeasty and then some grassy bittering hops.
The flavor took all of the previously mentioned aromas together and added a crisp nuttiness to it. All seems to come together and rolls into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionable smooth feel rolling over my tongue. Good carbonation. ABV feels just right.
Overall, nicely done Vienna lager that I could see myself coming back to if I lived in it’s distro.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of bread and grain with a hint of grassy straw underlying. Flavor has bread and grains throughout.

Draft. Rich amber beer with a dark cream head. Rich malt aroma. Caramel and light grapefruit flavor. Medium bodied. Caramel lingers with light citrusy hops backing.

Bottle from Michael’s in Moses Lake. Solid amber, but nothing memorable. Just avefast, through and through. Finishes fast, too fast.
