6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
On tap at The Snooty Fox. Pours a deep reddish amber color with a huge off white head that persists for a while. Aromas of bready pilsner malt with hints of caramel or burnt sugar. Rich bready maltiness with a fair bit of melanoid and spicy hop. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Nice malty rich lager, I enjoyed this.

On tap at The Snooty Fox. Pours a deep golden color with a huge off white head that persists for a while. Aromas of earthy rustic citrus and pine with bits of bread and hits of caramel to back it up. Bready maltiness with a fair bit of earthy citrus to counter. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. I sucked this 20oz glass down in nothing flat, I enjoyed this.

(bottle, 35.5cl) Clear, amber to copper colour with a medium-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Buttery and slightly bready malty aroma with notes of caramel, a nutty touch and woody hops. Bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Nutty and mildly bready toast-malty taste with notes of caramel, as well as hints of spicy, woody hops; moderately dry bitter-sweet caramelly and mildly spicy hoppy finish. Likeable Lager. 13.VII.14

Had this draft beer during the 7/4 beer tour 2014 at Sidelines Beer House. A yuengling looking beer, looks like lighter iced tea. Smells a little like the mild b/o of your favorite mate, you know, in a good way. First taste is not real hoppy initially but then the bitterness morphs into something more potent. Yes, this evolution is this same with every gulp. Some co2 makes it somewhat usable for a lager lover. This is your typical mouth coating IPA, wew. Terribly on style once you get to the finish. No fruity attributes in this IPA.

Second release from this brewer, but fifth one to try from them, as just released in cans. Pours a mild hazy light-golden colour with a white froth head, average retention and hardly any lace. Belgian Ale yeast aromas with the spiciness of clove and the notes of bananas from the wheat. Also, hints of alcohol and grainy corn malt. The taste is quite milder with a little spicy banana cereals. Seems a little off on this one. Just needs to be balanced a little better.

This lager poured a deep amber colour with a quick living head. Scents of smoke, malt and caramel. First swig was nice but a little thin in the mouthfeel dept. Malty, smokey flavours most prodominant. Finish is smokey but very good. Thicker would be better... That sounds terrible!

Bottle at West Coast Brew Fest 2014. Pours copper with a beige head. Roast malt with citrus for aroma. Med body. Flavor is like aroma. Finishes towards dry and bitter, but doesn’t quite get there.
