12 ounce bottle from Vintage Estate. Clear amber thin cream tan head, good retention. Aroma of bready malt, toast, floral malt. Taste is white bread, citrus, lemon.Medium bodied, crisp. This beer is called Big Woody. No wood. Lame. Good beer though.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a copper color with a large foamy orange-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was tangy with a bit of vague fruits. The flavor was tangy, a bit malty and a touch bready and grainy with a hint of fruity hops. Medium length finish that turned a bit dry. Medium body. Not good.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light honey, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly clean on lager flavors; some slight fruitiness and sulfur, but it’s not detrimental. Light-moderate dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, creamy/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a nice Munich helles style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bot. Smells like a clean lager. :Looks like a lager. Sparkles like a lager. Taste starts off sizzling co2 and then the mild dortness sneaks in. Gets a little slick as the session continues. Becomes a little malty sweet fer sure. Slight caramel finish.

Tap. Pours clear amber, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is quite light, touch of caramel and bready malt, grass. Flavor is light sweet, little bitterness, caramel, bread. Smoke and clean, but pretty boring. Light body.

Sample at the brewpub: Clear pale golden color with a very thin white head and spotty lacing. Light piney hops aroma. Light-bodied and clean on the tongue with a mildly malty and hoppy flavor. The finish is crisp and hoppy, with notes of pine and grass. Above average overall.

Draft sampler, at the Brew Kettle. Light yellow, of course. This was third in my sampler tray and the head is already gone. Taste is kind of "off"–a bit too yeasty, methinks–otherwise it wouldn’t be bad. As with many brewpubs, I’d just guess their lagering facilities aren’t yet up to snuff. But it turns out this does turn into a nice easy drink as I get toward the end.
