A mild hop character with strong corn and chemical characteristics as well. Light red color leads you to believe it will be better than most; and it is, by a hair.

While I have had the traditional lager countless times this is a beer that I have only had a few. Probably because the tan portion is the premium beer not the traditional lager - which would probably make a much nicer brew. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was slightly sweet but otherwise fairly typical macro scent. The flavor is a mix of some light sweet malts and sour tang. Nothing much going on here but drinkable.

The first thing you notice is the big carbonation, especially for a porter. Malt aroma. Taste of roasted malt, slight chocolate, smoke and coffee. But mostly fizziness. Nothing special.

on tap-poured a white head that reduced moderately. Color an amber, nice taste. This could be a regular, although I have been using Yuengling Premium as one of my regulars.

A yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is very sweet and spicy. The flavor is plainly sweet malty and the body thin.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) The colur of this beer is fantastic: clear, dark amber - pretty thin head though. Very high carbonation. Unfortunately the flavours in no way live up to the appearance. A small hint of caramalt, and that’s it. Absolutely no hops.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) "Blach & tan", back here we call it "Half & half" - both terms cover the same blend of half Lager, half Porter. I suppose this is not blended but brewed as a Dark Lager more akin to a Czech such or a German Schwarzbier. Quite dark, lightly toasted malts with a pronounced, crisp dryness and some bitterness. Light notes of coffee and a touch of chocolate and...vanilla? Actually quite good.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Golden, filtered, weak head. A slight touch of hops on the nose, high carbonation and then....nothing. Water is the most prominent flavoural impression with a bit of corn. Thin, thin, thin.
