12oz bottle courtesy of seymour pours deep gold with copper hues and light tan head. The aroma offers up big bready sweet maltiness followed by biscuit malts and some lagery yeasty like esters. The taste is similar with tasty rich bready sweet maltiness heading into lagery yeasty esters, floral hop flavor and a mild level of bitter floral hops. At times it has dashes of roasted malts. This is a solid Amber Lager.

12 oz bottle purchased at Lukas in Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is a light haze golden orange with a one inch slightly off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, grass and toffee caramel. There is also a hint of vanilla, and some earthy yeast. Mostly about the malt sweetness though. Taste is the sweet malt, red apple fruit and caramel, along with the earthy grass in the finish. Nice spicy hop presence as well. Palate is medium bodied, lower carbonation level, sweet and yeast linger a bit long in the finish. I always like the amber lager style, and this one was nice, though a tad sweet for my tastes.

Pour is a amber with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is some biscuit malts with very little hop profile. This is the first time i have seen this local brewer in the stores around here and I’ll have to try the others but this beer is average at best.
