Can (listed as an Amber Lager on can) from the brewery. Iced tea brown with light sparkle, thin cap of head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong caramel and brown sugar, vague fruit. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good strength of aroma and flavor. A bit sweet. Decent.

12oz bottle poured into a large wine glass with a large head that fades and completely covers the surface. Color is akin to clear honey. Aroma is slightly vegetal, grainy lagered malt. Flavor is a bit mineral (in a good way) with sweet lagered malts (not sugary). Finishes slightly fruity. Medium body for a lager. Its there, its a beer, no flaws. A sweeter lager but nothing that I will remember.

Sample or two at the 2009 Parkville Microbrew Fest. Pour is clear copper with a smallish, thin white head. Aroma of toasty malt, and mild sugar sweetness. There is also a dustiness to it that is hard to explain. Taste is almost all about the toasted malt graininess, with only an edge of the sweetness near the back. Palate is thin, and decent carbonation. A bit one dimensional, but really super drinkable.

Pour is a amber with a large white head. Aroma is caramel malts and some dark fruit. Flavor is a bit heavy and grainy with some of the caramel malts from the aroma carrying over. A pretty good examole of the style.
