Our Munich Helles.Malty, bready, and sweet flavors come together with just enough hops to round out this beer. Pale golden in color, this lager is delicate and delicious.

On tap at the wedding, which was at a brewery! Pours a clear golden hue with a small white head. A sweet grainy nose with some honey. Very clean and smooth with light crisp honey touched grains, a bit of spicy hops.

Nice easy fun that is quite different than any of the Penn Brewwery stuff I’ve ever had.

12 oz brown bottle for $1 at Vintage in Boardman. Ubiquitous free and easy pale yellow beer color. Has the aroma of eager refined uncooked bread dough yeast. The taste has hints of enterprising mechanical intuition. A short lived bite is present on the back of the throat. Good happy carbonation on the back of the tongue. Overall, a good lager like well behaved flavor taste and feel.

Bottle. A fine beer. Pours a very light yellow with a modest white head that subsides quickly. Grassy aroma, with light malts and some earthy hops. Flavor is delicate and on key. Some malty sweetness, followed by a dry and bitter finish. Quite nice.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Richmond, VA. Pours a slightly hazy orangish brown color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, floral hops, cinnamon, bread. apple. Taste is apple, caramel, bready malts, cinnamon and a bit of an acrid, grassy finish. Medium bodied. Quite a good beer.

Skunk aroma. Hazy yellow, no head. Skunky plastic flavor with traces of lemon. A tiny bit of lemon zest. Bleh.

December 2008 Beer of the Month Club

Overall Impression: Pretty standard, middle of the road golden colored lager. Wouldn't go out of my way for this one.

Pours clear golden, white head. Aroma si hoppy, with citrus and floral notes. Taste, malty with some light caramel, grainy, leaves a typical metalic lager aftertaste. Bitter hoppy finish. Nothing worth trying again.
