On tap at the Old Fashioned. Pours a hazy gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is grass and citrus. Medium body, grain, grass, bitter finish, decent.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Brigadier as Garten Brau. Thanks! Slightly hazy gold, thin frorthy white head, good retention. Aroma of white bread and grassy hops. Taste is lemon, toast, grass, pale malt. Thin. Okay

From old tasting notes. Labeled as "Garten Brau Special". Deep, brassy gold color. Tart malty nose. Crisp dry hop flavor. Very much like a German Pilsner.

Aroma is wet grain and some malt. Flavor is carbonic tang up front followed my malt sweetness. Sweet German Pilsner? Can’t remember having had one. This isn’t for me. Mildly sweet finish.

Bottle. Milky barley malt and straw aroma. Golden yellow with giant white head. Sweet light citrus, milky barley malt, and lightly bitter herbal hay flavor. Good body. Pretty good - nice malt flavor.

Bottle: Pours clear, pale gold with a foamy white head. Grain, a touch of honey in the scent. Taste is grain malt, sweet....again a slight honeyed tone...nicely malty. A little heavier and sweeter than most pilsners....less bitter. Nothing exciting, but it gets high marks for just being a good, simple beer....this would make a great everyday choice. Very satisfying.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-tan body. A little heavy on the body for a Pils in my estimation. Bready, slightly grainy malt tones. Mellow, classic, zesty noble hop balance. Not really a great example of the style, but drinkable enough. Grew on me as I drank it. OK.

Clear gold with a light ring of lace - not much carbonation to speak of in the body - crisp maltiness and a fairly snappy mineral kick in the nose, along with some lightly pungent hoppiness - light body - a light froth in the mouth, but it really needs more lively carbonation, as it is mostly kind of limp in that department - flavor is nice - crisp, crackery malts, followed by light honey pils maltiness, spicy hops, and a light mineral bite on the tail end - it’s a solid recipe that needs somewhat better execution and higher carbonation.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. A "born on" date of the 316th day of 2008...a tad bit old maybe? Pours a lightly cloudy dehydrated-piss gold with about a finger of bright white head. Aroma of green apple, a little corn and some cereal grains. Taste is light bitter and light sour. Apple, corn, grain and a little skunk. Light bodied with a thin texture. Very soft carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad, especially for a beer that’s past its prime by about 3 years. I’d like to try it fresh some time.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours gold with a decent fluffy white head. Noble hop aroma. Medium plus body with medium carbonation. Flavor is pale malt and grassy hop, then the malt goes a touch bready. Clean, refreshing. Very drinkable.
