look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date.

LOOK: Weathered copper, lacing drapes on the glass well.

SMELL: Thick wild herb, toasted bread, sweet floral resin, broth, mineral.

TASTE: Clean, smooth, toasty, faint brown bread, mellow herbal hop, lightly bitter, clean graininess, dry finish.

The malt backbone is just as broad as the hop character. A solid brew from start to finish, more than enough flavor and complexity to make it interesting enough to want more than just one.

Serving type: bottle

look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Presentation: 12 oz. brown bottle with a clearly marked best before date, and ingredients (water, malt, hops, yeast).

Appearance: Clear golden-straw colour with a fine white head.

Smell: Very fresh, clean, with hints of malt.

Taste: A light, smooth malty flavour. Splashes of lemon sourness and a distinct hop bite.

Notes: Good drinking all around. This is a traditional lager, with all the characteristics one would expect from "The Pre-Prohibition Beer" as it states on the label.

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

A- Poured into pint glass, amber color with decent foam that went away quickly
S- Smelled some maltiness, light alcohol
T- Tasted little bit of molasses, some coffee hints
M- The carbonation was done right, went cleanly in my mouth after drinking
O- Good, drinkable beer. It was light on a lot, which isn't a bad thing for lager. There was nothing that really stood out about this to me, but thats not always a bad thing. Its still tasted nicer than some other drinkables in the same categories (Bud, Coors, etc.)
