Crystal clear golden and light amber coloured body with a thinnish pure white head on top and a little bit of bubbles rising from the sides and bottom of the glass. Aroma of light metal, a touch of toffee, grain and earth with a light dose of touch of apples and pears as well. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavour at first with a big nutty and toffee flavour, some lighter malts and a touch of sweetness from caramelised sugars and fruits, that ends in a tiny amount of bread and yeast as well. Aftertaste shows a very smooth and easy-drinking lager with some more of the biscuity and toffee notes than I'd usually expect to see for the style with a softer finish and a good deal of sweetness. Overall, a good and smooth, easy-drinking lager with a ton of biscuity and grainy flavours, only showing a touch of complexity and yeast. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 04-December-2018 for US$1,83 sampled at my Mom's house in Manassas, Virginia on 23-December-2018.

Keg at the brewery. Clear copper, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of caramel, toasted malts, citrus. The taste is toasted malts, caramel, mild bitterness. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness, refreshing.

On tap at World of Beer Reston, pours a clear copper orange with some creamy white head. Nose is a bit buttery, yeast, malt, straw, some root veg. Flavor has more root veg and more butter, some yeast, a little dough. Sort of creamy on the finish. A little odd.

Draft at the source. Poured a totally clear dark amber/copper color with a small wispy head. Aroma was sweet malts, some light earthy notes, light floral. Smells like Oktoberfest. Flavor was light floral and some light earthy notes, sweet malts.
