Old Scratch Amber Lager
(A) pours into my tumbler with a clear, bright copper color and a two finger head of somewhat soapy consistency. the head soon retreats to a pleasant film with only the spottiest of lacing on my glass. (S) roasted malts on the nose - mainly caramel. the roastiness is more pronounced than the color would have had me guess. i'm not picking up any hops here at all. (T) dry, roasted malt flavor with a very faint hoppy bitterness. not impressive, but not off putting either. (M) this brew is moderately carbonated though thicker bodied than i expected. the impression it gives is one of smoothness with some clinginess. (D) fairly drinkable, though, at the price point i can think of several other beers i'd rather session.
