"A beer that'll twist your cap and is the first in our LTD series. It's an easy drinking, nonetheless way tasty limited edition lager that is a medium bodied, copper colored beer with subtle hop accents and a caramel aroma that goes down smooth.

ABV 6.4% IBU 26 "

3.93/5  rDev +5.4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: The pour is a brilliantly clear copper color with a frothy white head that shrinks to a third of a finger and sticks around until the final sip.

Smell: Pour pecan syrup on a piece of toast, take another piece of fresh bread out, place it next to the toast, grab both pieces, move about 7 feet away from a glass of a Pacific NW pale ale, and take a whiff. That's what this smells like. Lots of roasted caramel malts and bready grains in typical bock fashion.

Taste: The flavor profile is just about what you'd expect from the aroma. Roasted caramel malts, lots of bread, a dash of hops, and a hint of red apple. Dry, yet sweet.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with lively carbonation and slightly sticky at the finish.

Drinkability: This is kind of a unique review for me. I enjoyed the beer, but I don't love the style or this type of flavor profile. Regardless, this delivered on every level and it deserves high marks whether or not I fall in love with it.

Brown and red colors mixed with some dark orange. Not expected, substantially darker than most lagers. Aroma was mute.

Taste was like a scotch lager. Smooth, toffee, some caramel. Not too adventurous.

Dark pour, some red and brown, a little dark orange. Man, this is one of those beers you don't see coming in terms of what it looks like, I was expecting yellow beer. Aroma was a bit phenolic alcohol.

Taste, has that lager yeast thing going for it first and foremost, not my favorite thing about the beer, kind of a peaty red malt aftertaste in the mouthfeel comes later. Very herbal. Toffee. Tea. Crumpets. A little chewy, but at the end of the day it was a bock, and I just have some bias against them, even the great ones I'm just not down with, I think Sam Adams Chocolate Bock is wonderful (which most do not) so take my review with a grain of salt if you're a bock guy. I think this beer is good enough for people making a gateway step, the alcohol and yeast are just little detractors for me.
