Pint glass draft in the bar area at the Blue Spruce in Frisco, Colorado. The pour is a darker golden, clear, with a lighter tan head. The aroma is a nice toasty malt, clean and mildy sweet. The taste is the gentle caramel toasted malt of the nose predominately, along with a floral, very light citrus hoppiness. The finish is smooth, and lightly mineral. The palate is light to medium bodied, perfect carbonation and the crisp clean finish. Nicely drinkable Amber Lager.

Bottle. A great amber color with very little head. Almost no aroma, but it's there - a very faint sweet malty one. I'm sure the bottle was bad - the flavor is definately off - very acidic, astringent, watery. I had to spit out the first sip and dared to go back for another. I'll rerate iof I have this again and its any better. I just can't believe it was meant to be this bad
