2005 Vintage. Pale gold with a small white head. Aroma a mix of malt and corn. Falvor shows some malt with a little hoppiness in the finish. Better than most lagers, But I LIKE flavorful dark beers. 2008 vintage; pretty close to the 2005, but I taste more hoppiness in the flavor and a nice lightly bitter finish.
