Bottle. A clear one, dark golden to amber in color, and with a small, off-white head. Quite hoppy nose, almost toothpaste-like, citrus peel and resins too. Not much room for the maltyness, some caramel though. The flavor is pretty much the same, the hops dominates, without leaving too much bitterness. Caramel maltyness. Medium body, quite dry, and with a pleasant bitterness. A decent lager, but not so very classic in my opinion. 120217

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, fast-dying white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of light malt, metal, apples and a touch of hay and grass. Light-bodied; Mild malty flavour with some subdued hoppiness, a touch of a herbal and grassy note with a good mellow, yet somewhat complex finish. Aftertaste is very nice - no harsh flavours, no off-tastes, just a smooth maltiness, a good hop bitterness and a dry earthy and herbal characteristic. Overall, a good lager for sure and worth trying to find for the summer and for those ’lighter’ occasions. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from the Opera House Gourmet in Manassas, Virginia on 12-March-2011 with a best by date of 04/2011, sampled at home in Washington on 26-April-2011.

Bottle thanks to Dan. Poured a clear gold with a white head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had a bit of a musty lager yeast note with a bit of sweet backing grains. Flavor had a combination of grass and sweet malts with a bit of a mustiness in the finish/aftertaste.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that produced some lacing. The aroma was faintly, sour and tangy. The flavor was tangy, tart and nutty with notes of sourdough, lemon, toasted caramel and honey. The finish was medium length with notes of caramel and fruit lingering. Medium body. Decent.

Clear copper color, foaming head. Light perfume nose, a touch spicy. Clean balanced flavor profile, with sweet bready malts, light bitterness that balances, minimal hop flavors. Reminds alot of Yuengling, only a little better!

Lemon zest aroma. Clear golden color, little head. Tastes of slight phenolic lemon grass. Solid offering from a new brewer. There is potential for improvement. Disclaimer: No, I couldn’t do any better, but my experience is only in cider.
