It is an honest lager on the Vienna Style. The color is copper and red, white foam. The taste is sweet, malty giving a touch of whisky, 06 05.16, at Prélaz, Lausanne.

Clear, bronze, with cream coloured foam, thad did not last. Mild sour malt aroma. Strong sweet, lightly burned sugar in the first taste. The burned taste grows.

Can shared at home, thanks to Móni. Pours deep amber and a finger off-white head. Nose is faint grains, quite weak. In taste it's definitely better, decent toasty and bready malts with a touch of herbal-y, moderately bitter hoppy touch. Light yet somehow full body, average carbo, goes down easy. Korrekt kis vedelős sör, kifejezetten kellemes a maga nemében.

On tap at the angel inn, in niagara on the lake. Pour a nice clear copper with a small white head. Aroma of sweet buscuot malt, and some nive bready esters. Flavor has a nice floral semi citric hop quality with a nice bready malt finish. Decent stuff

Herb-malziger Beginn. Milde Bitterkeit, moderate Süße, weich. Angenehm getreidig, wenig ansteigende Herbe, langer Abgang. Gefällt! 10/9/10/10/8/10

0.473 l can from 'Craftbeershop.com'. A bit hazy, very deep amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, a little fruity and minimally resiny aroma of caramel, raisins, some pine and a touch of nuts. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity and a bit resiny taste of caramel, pine, raisins and some nuts, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, very smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very pleasant, American-style lager, well-brewed.

Appearance: clear amber with a large ivory-coloured frothy head of good retention. Aroma and taste: grain, bread, caramel, hop. Good balance. Pleasant hoppy ending. Mouth feel: medium minus body, appropriate carbonation. Overall: Fair.
