Pale yellow pour. Crisp slightly hoppy malt taste. Beer is better than overproduced macros, but not all that great. Rated 3/25/04

12oz bottle-pours a thin off white head and yellow/gold color. aroma is sweet grain/medium malt, secondary fruity hops. taste is grain/medium malt, secondary fruity/herbal hops, musty, not clean. Finishes medicinal/cardboard. it’s a shame they stopped brewing but still put out beer near their closing.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to hug rim leaving spotted sheets. Sour caramel aromas. Malty and crisp with a sour lasting caramel finish.

August 2008 Beer of the Month Club
(Rating is from 9/2/08)
Overall Impression: Not a bad lager, but certainly isn't anything special. I wish the Beer of the Month would pick some of the more interesting beers these brewery's offer, instead of their standard lager.

12 oz bottle from beastiefan2k; Thanks! Nose is grainy with a little light caramel; dark gold with a medium yellowish head; flavor has hop bitterness, caramel, and some apply fruitiness, with the hops making a nice light bitter finish! Decent DH!

Gift from a friend who went to Cape Cod. Pours completely clear dark golden with a small head. Aroma is apple and macro corn with Wonder Bread, white bread aroma. Taste is similarly white bread maltiness and corn with a light herbal bitterness at the end. A light but felt mouthfeel and average carbonation. Really just a boring, uninteresting lager with no creativity or seeming purpose [for a micro brewery].
12oz bottle, St. Paul snifter/tulip glass.

12 oz brown bottle courtesy of jjpm74, thanks John. Very cool looking label. Good yeasty aroma for a lager. I also detect some sweet candy hints in there too. The appearance is slightly darker than yer typical pale yellow lager and there are many streams of carbonation rising from the inside, very attractive. The head on this looks more like strongish ale than a lager. The initial taste is pretty strong for a lager. Now I see that it is a dort! Yes, way to much quality for just a pale lager! I should have read the label closer! Creamy carbonation. Has the bitterness that you would expect from a quality dort. Some citrus rind bite with hints of hops and perhaps malty bitterness too. Better than Victory V lager and Great Lakes Dort Gold. This beer has some alky taste impact tho it is only rated as 4.6%! Tastes like more. Not quite as well mannered as Edenton Helles Angel or as refined as Lowenbrau. This beer does have a tasteful personality all its own and I’m glad I had the opportunity to taste this. Quite an experience. Finish is medium mild bitterness that hangs for a few moments.

Deep golden clear body that supports a sticky dense head that has a light dusting of tan to it’s color. Aroma of malt and fresh bread dough. The flavor is sweet ending with a bit of dryness. This has just a little more hops to it than the usual Dort/Helles but very drinkable just the same.
