For a dark lager, this has some competition, shiner bock, killians and michelob amber boch; not too bad for macro brews. Wainwrights eye is peeken out from between the evil and the eye. 12 oz pop top can. Popped to release a slight sour aroma. Aroma is a little industrialized with metal hints. Pours darker than a pale yellow american beer but I don’t think this really qualifies as dark. Transparent with a couple small stream bubble originations. Now it does have a sweet hint in the smell. Head is alabaster and fades after a few minutes. Taste is not offensive but different in a Pittsburgh kind of way. Gentleman lager personality. This is definitely a good buy in the american lager arena. Price is half that of most other dark american lagers tasted. Finish is tingly on the back of my tongue. No real overwhelming or persistent linger. Not bad. On par with negra modela and lieny’s red.
