12 ounce bottle shared by maniac at the 14th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 3/19/11. Pours a clear amber-copper color with a medium creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of tart fruity notes and faint caramel malts. The taste is caramel, faint fruity notes and a bit of butter. Medium bodied.

12oz bottle. Filtered amber-brown color. Thin white head. Classic amber malt aroma, albeit with a factory macro edge. Some vanilla amber flavor, pretty smooth and mellow. Easy drinking, middle of the road beer. Plain..very. but also a pretty nice session beer in some respects. Loses points for lack of complexity, but not so bad overall.

Thanks to buckybeer for this one. The pour produces a tall, light tan, long lasting head of creamy foam. Fresh bread dough aroma. Very slight sweetness, no perceptible hops, some drying astringency forms at the finish. Smooth, with more body than I expected. Certainly drinkable, if not great. Loose the astringency and this would be a decent beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark red-amber color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was sweet, malty and nutty with a sour and lightly vegetal undertone. The flavor was very malty yet sour and tangy with a hint of caramel and raisin. The finish was long, malty and tangy.

12 oz. bottle in tumbler. Gotta say, Point beers are more often surprisingly tasty than not (except for the Light, of course). This one opens with a strong smell of Vienna malt and "Irish Red" character. This loose bottle may be old and giving me a hint of phenol, but not unpleasant. Much more brownness than a similar Brooklyn Lager, but a thin bottled-macro head. Taste is not quite as rich as its lovely nose, though. Malts a little subdued, bitterness is standard German hop-based, with the usual lack of expressive hop character. And ultimately, the feel is a little watery, especially since it seems over carbonated. But it has some good things going for it, and I’ll gladly accept another bottle in a chance to revise my opinion.

12 oz brown bottle with a twist off cap. Popping the lid yields a yeasty beer aroma. It is darker than a yellow american beer and there is a froth on top. Pour reveals a dark cream soda appearance. There is no head except a ring around the side of the glass. Taste is medium strong with more malt than hops. An alcohol bite seems apparent. Good smooth carbonation which is almost creamy on the back of the tongue. Seems to be enjoyable and not too offensive, lacking excessive personality. Not quite as good as Dos Equis XX Amber but much better than Great Lakes Eliot Ness, Schell FireBrick, Saranac & Adirondack Amber. Finish is a little alky and there is a taste that lingers shortly which it is medium bitter.

A thin, watery beer with little aroma. The color is red/brown. Flavor of very light malt. Not much flavor. Very light palte. In line with a low quality Vienna such as Dos Equis.

Orangey amber color with immediately fading head. Sweetish caramel aroma with some peppery hop. Smooth round mouthfeel with caramel malt and a light peppery/grassy hop and medium bitter finish. Not true to style at all, IMO (their Spring Bock is much more Vienna like than Bock like, so no surprise here I guess). Still, its an OK beer.
