12 oz bottle purchased at a HyVee somewhere in Des Moines, Iowa. Pour is cloudy golden with a 1/2 inch white head that falls fast. There are a fair amount of visible floaties on the pour. Aroma of softly sweet lemon citrus with a nice earthy wheat in there. Taste is the floral lemon sweetness, with some coriander spice and a great semi sour bitterness to the finish. Well done wit, though the very end of the after taste had a bit of metallic to it.

Bottle from Degarth. Pours a hazy pale lemon yellow. Nice. Slightly bitter, slightly sweet very faint aroma. Not much bitterness in this pilsner. Very malty, a little vegetal, and with a subtle up front flowery and fruity hop taste. Pretty nice.

bottle at Fort Wayne tasting - Pours lightly hazy yellow with a thin, fizzy head. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with some light citrus notes. It’s a little watery and has a mild finish. It’s alright, but quite forgettable.

Aromas of chocolate, coffee and dark toasted malt. Very dark brown color with a tan head that just ringed. Medium to full bodied with creamy carbonation. First flavors are something like coffee and toasted malt. Then another, sweet, flavor shows up that might reflect the lager aspects. Not necessarily bad, but it tends to reinforce that this is not a standard stout. Drinkable, but not so pleasant as many outmeal stouts. Finish is sort of coffee and dark malts with some bitter, but not necessarily as much as would be appropriate. Maybe it’s just too sweet for my tastes.

Sweet caramel aroma. Darkish amber color with a vigorous beige head. Nearly medium body with light fizzy carbonation. The flavor is mildly sweet caramel balanced with some hardly bitter, slightly floral hop. The finish is balanced, not all that sweet. Fairly pleasant drink - for a lager.

Courtesy of Degarth. Thanks, my first beer from Iowa!
Pours mildly hazy gold with weak white head. The light aroma has a dollop of sweet smelling malts, a wheatish tone, faint yeasty spice and noble hop spice. The taste begins with a bit of sharpness from the carbonation punctuated wheat twang followed by spice hops and mild malt sweetness. The sweetness builds up somewhat into the finish with lingering muted hops.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Golden, a bit hazy, with a white head. Aroma of some malt, a bit of yeast, a bit of wheat and hints of hops. Sweet flavor with a bit of sourness - some malt, yeasty notes and hints of fruits. Finish is a bit drier. Light-bodied. Quite refreshing, but nothing more.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow-golden color with a trace of a white head. The aroma was bitter, citrusy and a touch wheaty. The flavor was bitter and tangy with light wheat and citrus undertones. Surprisingly dry.
