A deep golden-colored, light bodied seasonal lager. Pilsner, Vienna and Dark Munich malts balanced by Tettnanger hops give this beer its toasty nose, smooth yet crisp character and late dry finish. Notes of light honey and Hazelnut.

64oz growler from the brewery pours a clear gold with some fizzy, fading white head. Aroma has some malt, a little candy, some straw, mildly grassy. Flavor is mostly malt, a little carrot, candy, straw, grass, a flick of lemon. Creamy finish. Not bad.

In draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark gold with a white head. Subtle malty aroma. Lots of sweet malts with caramel notes. Significant hop kick in the finish. Refreshing.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 6/10/11
Aroma: The nose is fairly light, it has some spice, grass, caramel, and bready notes
Appearance: It pours a golden color with a somewhat fizzy white head
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet with a yeasty presence and a spice hop
Palate: The body is fairly light, it drinks reasonably crisply, and goes down easily
Overall Impression: Overall, I found this one to be a solid lager. It wouldn't be something that you would describe as really exciting, but it isn't bad either. A pretty decent example of the style.

Draft at Brewpub. Poured a copper color with a small white bubbly head. Aroma was grains, light malts, caramel notes. Flavor was caramel, light sweet malts, grain, hops. Perhaps not the best one they make, but highly drinkable, with an alcohol content that is quite hidden for what it is.
