Can from allen dodd - thanks once more! He thinks this is 2008. Pours clear copper with a frothy beige head. Aromas of mild caramel and noble hops. Near medium body with fairly mild carbonation. Flavor is a bit complex; the rye is definitely noticeable. After the rye gets out of the way, piney hop pops up. Pretty tasty beer.

Can from allendodd. Special thanks because this is: My first Surly. Pilsner glass. Pours gold with a three finger white head. Mild noble hop aroma. Near medium body with brisk carbonation. Flavor is spicey/floral/grassy with some pale malt. It drinks incredibly well. Finishes with a mild fruit note. And perhaps a bit bready.

Thanks for making this possible Ty. 16oz can looks like a sports drink. It has a clear golden color with a small head. Aroma is very herbal and spicy hops. It kicks the nose a little without being American aggressive, in-your-face-hops. Otherwise, it is a clear white bread maltiness underneath. Flavor more awesomely crisp and white bread malts. has a good lightly bittered hop finish. It is good, herbal, fresh hops finish yet a thicker malty lagered flavor. Despite being unfiltered it has a completely clear pour all the way through. Its a very nice brew.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a surprise head that rises up huge after the pour is done. Aromas have a sharp pinyness to them with chocolate and black cherries and currants. Flavor is sweet and fruity. Chocolate, cherries and sugar. Yummmm.

Draught, ABR, 2009. A solid lager. Crisp lager flavor, yeast and malt. Good lager flavor. Good, full bodied palate. I could have believed it was a Bohemian pilsner.

Black color; small creamy head. Pleasant aroma, with chocolate, roasted malts, chocolate cookies, light phenols. Strong body, with quite evident alcohol perception; dark caramel flavor, chocolate and light liquorice; sweet and oily mouthfeel. The final is very chocolatey; there is too much alcohol. Powerful, but not orgasmic.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of BrianK. Pours black with a vague reddish hue and a rich light brown head. Aroma of hard roasted malts and a whiff of smoke. Solid body, hard roasted malts, some vanilla. Deeply malt bitter. Not bad, but not exactly Top 50 to me. 220909

Purchased this limited batch while in Minneapolis and I’m glad I did, although it was on the expensive side, especially for a lager. I had my last one after a long working day and it was almost soothing. Very mild hop aroma and flavor, but prevalent as well. This also tasted yeasty, but not in a bad way at all. I wouldn’t buy all the time, but would definitely drink again.

Lots of yeast in the aroma, and it is immediately recognizable as brett. Some prairie grass as well. Dry flavor with minimal hops, and more yeast here as well, which gives it horseblanket quality, but it is not sour at all. Cloudy yellow appearance. An OK beer, and it might improve with age if it wasn’t draught-only.
