From a 16oz can. Canned on 02/07/24

Slightly murky lighter amber colored pouring beer. A bit of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. The head is a 2 finger slightly off white head. Head retention is decent. There's some clingy lacing on the glass.
The nose is dominated by the malts. I get some roasted malts here. There is a bit of buttery biscuit. Hints of caramel and toffee.
Taste - There's a good hop bill in this beer that I didn't get in the aroma. A pleasing bitterness up front. After the initial bitterness, I get a nice buttery biscuit flavor. There's a roasted malt flavor to end the flavor profile.
Smooth and full bodied beer. The feeling of the hop bitterness is quite pleasing when it hits up front.
This style can be generic, but this beer is anything but. Great flavor and it feels great.

 

Pours an effervescent & chill hazed amber/hazel with one finger of sand colored head. Above average head retention & lacing

S: Very toasty, some grassy notes

T: Follows the nose, a little dryness, woody hops up front. Toasty, grassy, a little dry, hints of brown bread, even a little Rye, a touch of caramel & woody hops once this beer is warmed up. finishes toasty, dry & with woody/spicy hops

MF: Medium body, subtle carbonation

Nice flavor profile, pretty drinkable

Look...A darker tan closer to brown like the color of a pretzel. A somewhat hazy appearance with a medium carbonation and head
Smell...A roast earthy smell with a hint of the hop and some smoke
Taste... a bitter malt roast eradicating any sweetness with a dryness that brings me closer to a German pilsener with overall taste. A bitter nice treat
Feel...very impressed with the quality of this beer in the feel being so full at 4.8 percent abv. A very nice sticky lacing
Overall...this beer is well made just not my style. I have to rate it on what it is and at least how I like it. I could see why some would like this beer more than me but that's cool. Still pretty tasty

 

Thanks to @Roy_Hobbs for this one, from his blasts during NBS BIF #15. 16oz can (no date) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clear dark amber color with over an inch of light khaki head that had good retention and lacing.

The aroma was primarily semi-sweet malts, but had some nicely floral hops, and a touch of yeast spice.

Similar on the tongue, with that spice note being a bit stronger, and the floral a bit softer.

The body was light-medium, very smooth, and had medium finish.

Drinkability was very good, an easy and enjoyable quaff.

Overall, a very enjoyable, one that I'd happily drink a lot of were it local to me. Certainly worth your time if you get the chance.

Dark amber / orange body, clear; moderate carbonation; thick, off-white head, dense and creamy. Nice, rustic aroma; toasted grains with a hint of honey. Fantastic toasted grain taste with a slight bit of caramel; moderate hop bitterness; nutty. Medium body; smooth with a sticky quality; mild warmth.

This is a great amber lager, rich and flavorful with a pleasing overall warmth.

Pouring temperature: 44 °F; canning data: 02/16/22

 

Absolutely gorgeous coppery and crystal clear brew. Good head production and retention.

Strong nose for the style, with wonderful notes of pepper, toffee, light toast, and bright, fresh herbs. Intensely aromatic.

Flavor follows, albeit not quite as uniquely impressive and expressive as the nose. Crisp and drinkable; drinks bigger than the modest ABV.

This is a beautiful beer.

Poured a pleasing brown amber color and topped with a thin manila cored head. For an "Amber" lager, it very much looked the part.
The aroma was mild for me (Lagers barely register to my damaged nose) but I did get some caramel like malt notes.
The flavor was so nice, though it was served cold it tasted warm. Bread like malts, a bit of caramel sweetness, and a touch of a bittering hop to keep it from being sweet.
Very quaffable; I could (and likely would) drink this all day at a fest or something. Really quite easy drinking by the sip or gulp.
OA, I thoght this another solid lager from Fox Farm and I am grateful to Bill for the opportunity to try it.

This one pours a golden amber reddish color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like nutty malt, honey, tea, toffee, bready malt, and grassy hops.

This is listed as a Vienna Lager, because Czech amber lagers aren't available as a style on this site. You just don't see enough breweries doing this style - it's so good. There's a killer spicy, tea-like, and grassy hop character on this, with a smooth, creamy, bready malt backbone.

This is light bodied, but very creamy and smooth, almost velvety, with a wonderful drinkability.

This is just about spot on for what I'd want out of this style. Fox Farm does lagers so well.

Pours clear, copper in color with 1/4 inch head. Taste is semi-smoked caramel malt and dark bread. Medium-heavy body, moderate carbonation, sweetish and smoky--but not near the rauchbier level. Another amazing non-hoppy beer from these guys. Could drink this all night. Love what these guys are doing.

Pours a clear, brilliant amber color. Initially there is a thick three finger head on the beer that slowly dissipates. Just a thin layer of tan foam remains on the beer.

Aroma has notes of lightly toasted malts, bread, with a light spicy hop finish.

Taste largely follows the nose with notes of lightly toasted malts, bread, a light spicy herbal hop note, a touch of honey sweetness, and a certain minerality present in the beer. As the beer warms there is a slightly nutty flavor to the malts.

Feel is light, crisp, with moderate carbonation.

Overall this beer struck me as being very akin to a Vienna lager. Its delicious and a very enjoyable beer to drink.
