On draft at the brewpub in Frisco CO. Pours a clear reddish copper with an off white head. Nutty nose. Sweet malty flavor. Lingering toasty finish.

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
