Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark copper/amber with a slight white head. Amber malt aroma - like a Marzen - with a hint of some kind of fruit. Med body. Flavor is amber malt with some spice, perhaps a touch of citrus, and tho I hate to say it, vanilla. Reasonably towards dry. Nicely towards bitter. Overall it's a good drink.

Bottle. Master of Malt. Hazed pale bronze. A few floaters. Very decent off white head is lasting and almost fully lacing. Nose has fruited tea loaf. Touch of vanilla. Victoria sponge cake. Taste is bready sweet. Some bitterness. Rich and silky on the palate. Soft carbonation. Lingering leafy bitterness to finish. Mega tasty, but overall a bit chewy.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours bright gold with a large, but transient, foamy white head. Smells lemon with some breadiness following. Med body, almost. Flavor is lemon soda with bread - or soaked in bread - or ? Still it's ok as a radler. Good lake beer - gotta watch the ABVs.

On tap at Green Flash, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is really smoky, with lots of charcoal smoke, light roast and a hint of cocoa powder. Flavour is very smoky, with lots of ash and campfire smoke, medium roast, and a touch of cocoa. That's a lot of smoke that's just not all that pleasant. Decent overall.

On tap at Green Flash, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of sweet lemon, some tartness and soda. Flavour is way too sweet, with heavy sweet lemon and just a touch of tartness. Pretty useless beer. Hard to palate with its sweetness.
