Mild in body, easy-going, and clean in taste. Each sip charms the senses with a distinct flavor and refreshing simplicity. Named after our founder's grandmother, our unfiltered lager is forever dear to our hearts.

I had this at a bottle share here in Juneau.
This was poured actually into a tulip, forgive me for not having it in proper glassware.
Anyways, here’s the rest.
The appearance was a nice looking somewhat hazy to transparent golden to yellow bronzed color to it. A decent small yet slight carbonation clears the body nicely.
The smell had a nice sweet sticky and somewhat corn to wheat blended and slight citrus on the back end of it.
The taste followed the nose nicely as it kept a subtle flavor of sweet malty corn and a light flavoring of caramel to back up nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat subdued but mostly subtle, still no qualms. I say good for the most part.
Overall, I say this was a pretty decent California Common I could have. Me, I’m just glad to have something by them in the last Frontier.

Bottle thanks to Calvin. Pours a cloudy yellow with thick white head. The aroma is yeast, wheat, and fruit. Medium mouthfeel with strong yeast and light fruit. Good.

22oz bottle pours a hazy, straw yellow with some thin, white head. Nose has a lot of corn and white flour, white AP flour, some straw. Flavor has a lot of corny sweetness, straw, uncooked dough. Clean finish, perhaps a little watery.

22 oz. bottle. Clear amber color with spotty lace in a pilsner glass. Aroma of corn, straw and light malt sweetness. Flavor has light yeast with all the above aroma traits. Light in body but thankfully doesn’t get watery. This brew does have a nice crispness and is extremely easy to drink, it doesn’t do it for me but I’m sure lager drinkers will love this.

Purchased at Steve’s Wines in Madison, WI; enjoyed during a band practice, straight from bottle. Appearance (for what I poured for my friends) was a lightly cloudy gold with a rich white head. Aroma mostly of lager yeast, light bread. Taste was also yeasty, with a light hop profile. Nothing mind blowing, but solid.

Tap at Dexters. Thick, unfiltered yellow-tan. Creamy, touch of corn. Medium bodied, yeasty. Fresh, very cloudy, slight sour mash edge maybe. a touch of lemon in the doughy yeast. A pleasant surprise. Well executed Lager. Not much hop character, a little herbalness. Refreshing, great session beer.
