Good

Pours looking like an amber lager! Big foaming creamy head over dark amber beer. A little mild grassy or noble hop on the nose, maybe a little dark bread. Clean profile, bready, mildly sweet with a light caramel note. Biscuity. Semi-dry, with a light hop bitter finish. Drinks super easy, just magically disappeared from the glass! Overall mild, restrained but well constructed, if maybe slightly less interesting than the best amber lagers (or dunkels or viennas or whatnot) out there. Cans from Publix Oviedo FL

AROMA: Slightly sweet with mild scents of malt, caramel and bread, followed by a hint of citrus.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear, medium amber, with a 2-finger, dirty-white head that dissipates slowly, with excellent lacing.

TASTE: Initially, it is mildly sweet but then quickly transitions to mildly bitter. Flavors are hard to identify but I definitely get notes of burnt caramel and during the finish there is just a hint of of dark-roasted coffee bean. Based off the nose, the bitterness level is a little higher than I would have expected. It's not off-putting, just unexpected. The finish is moderately dry.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly "rough" texture, and average carbonation.

OVERALL: I've enjoyed most of the other beers that I've tried from this brewer, but this one is my least favorite. I can't fault it on being another "me too" beer, as it is fairly unique in its flavor. So I give them props for doing something different.

For me, I think the biggest issue is the bitterness level. While it's not overly bitter, it does seem too bitter for the slightly sweet aroma. So every time I go to take a sip, my nose says to expect something sweetish, but then my mouth is hit with something bitter, which makes my brain say "no bueno".
