I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from a beer store in LaCrosse, Wisconsin whilst there for my daughter's gymnastics meet. It poured a clear amber with no head and no lace. The scent had bold carmel malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet malt base. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

This is a 16oz. can poured into a weizen glass. There was a large cap of tan foam that quickly receded to a quarter inch cap with slight lacing left behind. This is a slightly hazy dark amber colored beer with a high amount of carbonation.
The aroma is slightly malty.
The taste is slightly dry and slightly bitter up front with a sweet caramel creamy smooth finish.
These beers are enjoyable, tasty, and easy to drink. The 5.8% ALC may sneak up on you.

Boxcar pours a reddish color, with almost no head. Hoppier aroma. Flavor is hoppier, yet sweet. A bit lite. Overall, its a lighter ESB, hoppy flavors.
