Light caramel aroma. Coppery amber color with a white head that rapidly flattened. Medium body with light, fizzy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel with some citrus/fruit hop. The finish is clean, and lightly bitter. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Slightly sour corn malt aroma. Medium amber with large head. Sweet corn syrup and toasted malt flavor - hint of pecans. LIght hops finish. Decent beer - although not cloying, still a bit too sweet for me.

Orange color, paler than true amber, a big foamy head. Aroma is slight butterscotch, a hint of brown sugar, a touch of herbal hops, and perhaps a vague vegetal character. Palate is lighter than I’d like - right up front this beer lacks body. Just a touch of caramel malt sweetness - moves into a nice spicy hop finish though. I wouldn’t say its watery, but I do like more malt backbone to amber lagers. I think this could serve as a refreshing beer with flavor, when such is needed, though.

12 oz. bottle from Zinister. Pour is dark golden, with a medium white head. Aroma is hop and malt sweetness. Flavor is a little too sharp, I get kind of an old grain and sour something in it. Not my favorite, but glad I got a chance to try it. Thanks again Michael!

Bottle. Poured an amber color with thin white head frothy head that stays. A very hoppy aroma and malt. Laces nicely but dissipates quickly. Not too much to offer on the taste.
