Old Scratch Amber Lager
Light, very clear, copper that trends toward orange instead of red. Head was quite white and settled down quickly. Carbonation starts off roaring then dies back. With a first whiff the hops seemed lemony-orange with a bit of malt underneath. Second smell (after the taste) got more of the malty sweetness. Odd surprise on first sip. What I tasted most was bread-yeasty, like a home brew batch that might have picked up an odd touch of wild yeast. There's a mild sweetness that's not unpleasant. Thick hops on the tongue are what I'm left with with this beer. Considering the carbonation, this beer was on the light side. Not one of my faves, but I might try it again just to see if this batch wasn't a fluke and b/c I've liked other Flying Dog brews.
