From a bottle. This site says hefe but I don’t think so; probably like some wheat ale, like the label says. . From the start its a little darker and not as cloudy as a hefe. Smell is a little ale-ish, not really hefe. Stronger than hefe on the first tast but not as rude as many wheat ales. Some fine creamy CO2 in there. Rather well behaved with very little if any rude bitter ale attributes. However well behaved, this stuff lacks any of the real hefe attributes that I have become so endeared to; no bubble gum and no banana. Overall rather tasty and friendly. I think I taste some orange in the background.

Nice foamy pour but controlable. Rocky head. Don’t see many lagers with gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Smell is a little lemony at times. Really sharp and rude for a lager, has many ale attributes. It quite bitter bordering on IPA territory if thats possible. Maybe they mixed up the label on this one, heheh. Nasty heavy vanilla er sumthin going on here. I didn’t see the percentile but I bet it rates quite high here. Now I see it has a 50% for overall and a 93% for style, figures. Yes quite big in personality. It says 5% but let me tell you it feels more like 7%. Impressed. Didn’t expect this from a lager, wew.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark copper color with a large foamy orange-white head that lingered and produced minimal lacing. The aroma was sweet with moderate notes of nut, caramel and bread though there was a light vegetal undertone. The flavor was nutty with caramel, toasty malts and bread on the front and undertones of clove and tangy citrus. The finish was long with nut, caramel and bread lingering. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

Bottle. Very good for a lager. Pours a hazy amber with a decent white head. Left lacing. Big, malty nose with some fruity hints to it. Flavor is rich and smooth, heavy on the sweet malts with a touch of caramel. Medium in body with mild carbonation. Some pleasant bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. I would buy again if I’m looking for something light and smooth, well made brew

Bottle. Hazy golden blonde body. Aroma is almost nothing, very faint malt. Taste is grain, lemon, Earth hops, grass and sweet malt. Body is light and almost uncarbonated. Slick feel on the palate. Ends with stronger hop and yeast notes, more earth hops, light grains and soft biscuit notes. No bitterness, overall good. I would try another of the style.

12oz bottle pours a watery, opaque black with an off white head that faded fast and left zero head. Nose had some pumpkin spice, some nutmeg, a little butterscotch, some ginger, a little bready, some light malt. Flavor is sweet malts, ginger, nutmeg, there’s definitely some root vegetables, pumpkin, carrot, toasted bread. Medium bodied, dry finish.
