Pale golden beer with a frothy, sticky lace - aroma of honey, lavender and other soft, flowery, scented soap kind of smells - pretty weak in the flavor department - mediu sweet, with a balancing tart character - some grainy flavor and very light floral notes, but beyond that there really isn’t anything going on here - boring.

This brew pours a dark brown color with a medium thin beige head with decent retention. Stringy lacing. Roasted malt and nuts in the nose. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Roasted malt and caramel flavors, along with lightly floral hops. The finish is mildly nutty and sweet and does not last long. Decent overall.

bottle - Pours golden with a one finger head and has a mild bready malt aroma. The flavor is all sweet malt with almost no detectable hops. It’s a little on the thin side, obviously easy to drink, and generally just bland. Fair at best.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a thin head. It has a mild malt aroma. The flavor is mild, sweet caramel malt and quite bland. There’s a little hops in there and it’s a too thin, too watery beer. Sure it’s drinkable, but there’s just not nearly enough flavor here. Poor.

Deep garnet-red body, thin buff head. Sweet, sugary aroma backed by grassy hops, exhibiting a thin tartness with poorly developed caramels and toasts. The body was thin, with brown sugar, toast, and bitter esters in addition to a touch of tobacco, but this medley of flavors lacked punch. Watery, lacking pizazz.

Bottle at Pirates/Cardinals baseball game. Scribbled notes are tough to read. Fairly brown color (old penny copper) with a small head. Aromas are sweet and mild. Flavor is pretty malty with a little bit of a hops boost. Not sure why they are serving Oktoberfest at ballgames in July, but it was nice.

Poured a slightly murky deep yellow with a thin, quick fading head. Aroma is very malty, slightly yeasty with hints of sweet fruit, mostly banana. Flavor is almost all german malt with only hints of anything else, hay and grass if you search. Finish is watery, no heat or alcohol. This beer was drinkable, not even close to a drain pour, but not unlike alot of beers you get from the big brewing macros.
