German pale lager, unfiltered and unfined. This is the first time we brewed this beer, and we couldn’t be happier. All German malt, our beloved Augustiner lager yeast, and US Sterling hops. If you can’t find joy in big glasses of this beer, we can’t be friends

16 oz can. Aromas of bread dough, grass, and mild yeast. Subtle herbalness throughout. Flavor shows me light biscuit/ dough / cracker backbone. Light-moderate floral bitterness on the finish. Body is correct for the style. It is ok.

Pours dark gold into a Sam glass. White head with good retention recedes to skin surface. Dark malt aromas. Crisp with bitter dark caramel, sourdough and roasted bready malt upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Draught at Deep Ellum, 3/5/16.
Light copper-amber colored with strong golden overtones. High clarity and a large, white head that steadily recedes to a ring.
Lots of cereals in the nose, with very light caramel and honey. Fresh hay and dusty, almost lemon-tinged hops add charm and uniqueness. No alcohol, no flaws. Love the graininess to it, but I can’t say I’d be offended at a little bit more hop character in the nose.
Light breadiness, with hay, light sourdough and tons of honey. Floral and spicy notes from the hops, with a medium carbonation and nice watery consistency lending a ton of drinkability. Could be a touch more crisply hopped on the finish, but the drinkable nature of the beer and absolute cleanliness of it is hard to argue with. Nice and dry, as well, though with strong malt suggestions, as it should be.
