Pours out of a clear 12oz bottle in a watery gold color and weak off white head. Very light aroma with sugary sweetness and a hint of floral hops that are just pungent enough to be noticed. The below average carbonation and the light body give the beer a rather watery mouth feel. Just like the aroma I taste some sugary malt sweetness and slight floral hop bite. I didn’t sense ay obvious flavor or aroma flaws which is a nice bonus.

Pours a light copper with weak off white head. This beer has a decent malty aroma with slightly roasted malts and a hint of caramel. The taste is much like the aroma with lightly roasted malts, caramelized malts and a hint of astringency. Not at all bad. It is better than I was expecting.

Pours a deep gold with flimsy weak head. The aroma has vague malt sweetness as well as some sort of herbal quality and a bit of honey. The taste is much like the aroma with hints of malt sweetness, honey and something very herb-ish. Interesting flavored beer.

It glugged out of the bottle in a clear copper color with quickly dissipating tan head. The aroma is pretty strong consisting of mostly raspberry extract syrup. I don’t smell much behind that. The flavor has over the top raspberry syrup that powers over whatever else might be there. Certainly this brew could use some semblance of balance between the adjuncts, malts and even the hops. Tastes like a raspberry seven-up derivative.

Pours a slightly copper to gold with weak off white head. The head was reduced to a thin ring in under a minute. The aroma has some grapefruit hop notes and slight sugary maltiness. There’s also a slight off aroma but its too faint to really pin down. The flavor has an even mix of grapefruit hop bitterness and sweet sugary malts. On the negative side it seems a bit oxidized and watery. Passable pale.

Thanks to Illinismitty for sharing this one at the Tennessee Spring(ish) Tasting held in Knoxville, TN on 3/10/2007. Thin white head over a hazy medium yellow body. Light citrus hop aroma. The flavor is lightly hopped with a good balance between the malt and hop components. This is muted somewhat as it shows some age, but has done fairly well for the style.

Courtesy of a Porter swilling third party. Thanks man. Slightly hazy gold with streaks of copper color with virtually no head. The aroma is sweet, honey-like, with hints of wheat and a floral note or two. The taste is a bit odd and tough to pin down. I get some initial malt sweetness then a tart note mixed with sweaty gym socks. It ends thin, tart and funky.

Courtesy of a Porter swilling third party. Thanks man. Poured clear water with slight shade of gold and thin white head. Light aroma of sweet malts and what seems like floral hops. Flavor is sweet malts with floral notes that make it seem very honey like. Overall a bit bland tasting.

12 oz bottle that poured out gold colored beer rather than amber with thin white head. Sweet lager aroma with hints of hop spice, some yeast skunkiness and metal. The taste is sweet lager type malts that doesn’t become too sweet. Add to that what seems like noble hoppiness biting around the tongue early on then coating all over by about midway. Not really a great taste or aroma with this beer. I’ve had some decent amber lagers but this one comes up far short. It isn’t amber and doesn’t taste like an amber lager. Maybe the bottle has the wrong label.
