Aromas are malt, wet grain, herbal and floral. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet, with good carbonation. A bit sweeter than the German pilsners I've had. Still pretty good, clean, satisfying and refreshing.

A 17.2 oz bottle that was delivered by the accommodating people at Half Time. I have had the bottle for a few months, time to be tasted. A very Germanesque label, for sure. And a pilsner, no great expectations although I do like my beer-tasting beer. I'm drinking out of the bottle tonight, thank you very much, I roll this way occasionally. Yes, a beer taste right off, slightly bitter, a certain graininess, a touch of hops, crackers and some earthiness too as I am inclined to call it. All right for the style.

Crispy and tasty but not a banger for me, just refreshing and no off notes. Maybe the hops didn't work out for me.

500 ml, BA Lager Fest in Cyberspace. Aroma is bready, herbal, grassy. Pours slightly hazy golden with a one finger cream white head with good retention, leaving curtains of lace. Taste has a moderate herbal hop bitterness that really builds on the palate, with some light bready malt notes. Just about as good as STS. Two pilsners in a row hitting it out of the park, nice.

About the most German damn American beer I've come across. So, so grassy, full of cut hay and floral notes and freshly-mowed good ol' caterpillar, with cracker and pale malts lying underneath. Mineral-floral bitterness on the back end accents mild lemon and grain notes. Only gets better as I sip it. Lovely beer.
