From old tasting notes. Bright orange amber color. Big bubbles lead to a rocky beige head. Aroma of lightly toasted malt with a hint of graininess. Light malt flavor with a hint of cocoa. Mild grassy hops in finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-brown color with a large tan head. The aroma was tangy, malty and a touch vegetal. The flavor was tangy, very malty and had a touch of nut and vegetal malts. Fairly thick. Rather bock like to me.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with about two fingers of beige head. Aromas are thickly sweet... caramel and maple with a kind of dusty grain edge to them. Flavor is dominated by the grains... and is very sticky sweet. Maple and caramel malts dominate and come off as a little overdone, but this is still good enough to merit some attention... even if that doesn’t translate into future purchases.

Expecting something better since this city brew is in a 12 oz twist off bottle instead of a can. Tea froth head. Darker than the ubiquitous pale yellow beer, has some brown in there. Perhaps it has a mild hard tack candy aroma. Rude alky plowing unlikely pennsylvanian manners on the tongue. Difficult without common courtesies. Nice story on the label but I wish it tasted as good. Sweet candy on old well water palate. Obtuse finish is coarse and somewhat rude. Low enjoyability factor for this lager lover. Probably would not purchase again. Atwater rost is tons better and more enjoyable than this.
