Half liter stein at the Estabrook Beer Garden in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The pour is a clear golden with a foamy white head that leaves behind nice lace. The aroma is faint cereal grain, along with some bright citrus. The taste is clean cereal grain, a soft lime, fruit sweetness and finishes clean with some hay. The palate is medium to light bodied with active carbonation and the crispy clean finish. Super easy drinking.

This clear golden brew is a pleasant lager. There’s bready, biscuity malt and it’s somewhat sweet with a hint of honey. Very mild hops. Refreshing.

12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a clear gold color with a very small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Not as cloudy as typical Kellerbiers. Standard pale malt aroma. Standard pale lager flavor too, maybe with some light honey notes. Slightly sweet. Crisp. Clean. Easy drinking. Mellow. A good anytime beer. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Not bitter.

Pour is a clear bright gold with a large white head and tons of carbonation. Aroma is Euro lager cracked malt with some sulfur. Flavor is dry cracker malt with some of the minerals and herbal hops. This was a well done collab. Can't tell if this was brewed in the US or Germany.

12oz can. Nice toasty melanoidan malt in the aroma. Clean, clear, tan body. Thin white head. Simple but quite delicious. Great malt tone but lacks much, if any, hop balance. Still quite a lovely summer session beer. Sweet and easy. Good.

Corn, barley malt, and straw aroma. Clear golden yellow with nice white head. Mildy sweet creamy barley malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Good body. Tasty
