12 oz. bottle from Tops in Lewiston, NY. Pours a mostly clear orange-gold color with a thick off-white head and great retention. Great lacing too. Strong hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavor too, but only medium bitter. I'm not sure why they call this a Winter ale; This is all APA. Medium body. Slick mouthfeel. Too hoppy for my tastes.

12oz bottle. Filtered amber-copper body. Enjoyable malt tone, the hops don't really deliver a bite or balance though. Easy drinking, clean beer. OK.

12oz bottle. Filtered, relatively straightforward old school IPA. Nice balance. Toffee touched malt tone, more of a classical hop balance. Very drinkable.

6.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
12oz bottle. Soapy white head. Pale tan body. Not as nice malt tone as a good German example, but on the right track with the noble hops. Not a bad Pale Lager, but not that impressive of a Pils. Certainly drinkable. OK.

On tap at DRBT 10. Pours a cloudy purple with small pinkish head. The aroma is strong berry, grape must, wood, rye. Slick body, jammy blackberry, earth, wood, rye, light tartness, very good.

Überraschend, säuerlich und röstig, eher dünnflüssig. Hat mir gut gefallen.
