12oz bottle. A true session Amber. Really clean, really drinkable. Classic, refreshing. Exceeded my expectations. Not a lot going on but it works.

Review from notes, beer sampled 8/12/2011 I had this in a bottle in a bar in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania while visiting my wife’s mom. I’d never heard of this brewery so now was the time to try it. Pours a deep copper reddish brown with a decent sized white creamy head. Smells of lightly toasted and bready malt with hints of caramel and very faint spicy hops. Taste is smooth lager like and easy to drink. Lightly bready toasty caramel malt with barely enough spicy hops to keep it from being cloying. Medium body and carbonation level with a smooth slick mouthfeel. Decent enough macro style lager, but certainly nothing to go out of your way for.

An amber lager with a thin off white head. In aroma, faint caramel with light wet dog. In mouth, a roasted barley oatmeal, chalky, boring. On tap at PA Flavor, April 9th, 2011.

Definitely the finest beer made by this brewer, although that is surely faint praise. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-amber color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sweetish caramel with a touch of molasses and cherry. The flavor is initially bitter, tangy and lightly toasty - then where the middle is supposed to be the whole flavor falls right off a cliff to water. No middle. No depth. There is a short vague sour finish and that is it. Water, water everywhere...

Bottle. For a dark beer, this pours extremely light... a coppery color with a really big and puffy tan head. Aromas are weak and sweet. Flavor is really weak.... sweet and roasted corn with a bit of a honey finish and no plot development. I was hoping that Straubs would come up with something worthwhile for this.

Thank you zebracakes for the chance to taste this! An american dark lager? No way, this is a pale lager or a premium lager. Not dark enough to be called dark. Grainy sweet aroma. Not alky olfactory even tho it is pretty sweet smelling. Looks like light iced tea, very light.Nicely bubbly. Is not anywhere near flat. Hay and not like any other dark lager. Certainly more like an APA of sorts. Just a plain old good local beer.
