Bottle solo domed most of it. Pours a dirty amber color, thin off white head. Little or mild nose. Light caramel and light fruit. Flavor is caramel malt, toffee, weak bitterness in the finish. I was hoping for just a bit more flavor than the Caramel/ toffee. I don’t get chocolate (wish I did)
Higher carbonation in a near medium body. Not bad, seems like it was brewed for the masses. Kind of ordinary, nothing here to give it any jazz.

Pours hazy straw into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Sourdough and lemon aromas. Soft with sourdough and biscuit upfront turning to rotting vegetables before the lasting earthy bitter twig finish.

Keg at Switchback, Burlington. Hazy golden, creamy head. Bready nose with some tangerine. Mid dry with light-medium body and clean mouthfeel. Spicy grainy bread, mild citrus. Mid bitter finish. Flawless, but somewhat sterile. Lacks the malt softness which is the soul of kellerbiers.

Bottle from the Lazy dog Slightly hazy deep yellow with a firmly bubbled white head that persists. Somewhat odd meaty note up front dissipated quickly. The nose has bits of earthy spicy floral citrus and some faint bready pilsner underneath. The flavor is about what the aroma promised but add a light skunk. Not horrible but certainly not as clean as the German beer they are trying to emulate.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy semi-transparent amber/copper color. Bar pour’s kind of slim white head slides quickly into the beer.
The aroma breathes in a very nice balance of roasted nuts to sweet caramel/toffee malts, very clean and smooth.
The flavor is pretty much the same with that nice balance of roast to sweet nuts and malts smoothly running into each other and sliding into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable quality about it. Nice carbonation.
Overall, well done amber ale that I would love to have again.
