Dégustée en fût chez "The Reservoir Restaurant & Taproom" à Waterbury, VT. De couleur jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de houblon herbeux avec des traces de pain. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle frais et légèrement sucrés dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de pain ainsi que des traces de biscuits et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (foin, notes de gazon mouillé). Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût de grains de malt. (1er mai 2013)

Draft, Three Penny Taproom. Clear straw yellow in color. Good retention. Nose is grassy hops and traces of malt. Strong amount of grain. Tiny bitterness in the finish. Floral hops. Texture is light and thin. True to the style. Decent. This style in general isn’t something I seek. However, I understand why people come to love theses.

A - 2 dinger leather colored head with tight creamy bubbles. Muted dark brown ale with some haze. Very plain but very German looking. S - honey, dry and very bready yeast. Some raisin smells.

Trapp Lodge: Pours a golden color with a white head (looks kind of similar to a German style Marzen as opposed to an American one). Aroma is light caramel malts. Taste is much the same. This is an easy downer and could easily be consumed in great quantities. Light hops are there as well, but considering them is almost an after thought. This is a proper session beer. Crisp and refreshing.

Trapp Lodge: Pours a light color for a dunkel... kind of amber... with an off-white head. Aroma is light fruitiness, with some malt content. This is definitely on the lighter side of the style. Mild sweetness is present throughout. Palate is really good and this makes for an easy drinking beer; however, I don’t find anything to be too exciting in this here brew.

Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe, VT sampler: Pours a pale gold with a white head. Aroma is so light as to be almost non-existent. Taste is also very light and doesn’t have some of the qualities that I look for in a helles, which is one of my favourite beer styles. It does have good malt character, but kind of not enough of it to really stand out. Light hoppage as expected. It is refreshing and crisp, but the German examples of this style still wow me a lot more.

Trapp Family Lodge: Pours a black color with a beige head. Aroma is all smoky, roasty, and chocolatey. Taste is much on the same level. I liked the smoke flavors, but they were certainly not dominant. Roasted malt and chocolate made definite appearances. Well-balanced throughout. This was easily the best beer I got from the sampler.

On tap at The Reservoir Waterbury Vt. Pours a deep golden color with a huge rich off white head that sticks around forever. Smells of grainy bready malts with rich melanoids mixed in. Earthy floral hops are more aggressive than I would have thought. Taste is sweet grainy toasty bready malts with hints of honey, burnt sugar and an earthy hop bitterness that threw me at first. Finish leaves a sweetness with an earthy hop bitterness. Medium body with crisp carbonation and a sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. Great Lager that I’m glad I tried on a whim.

From the cask at the American Flatbread Real Ale Regatta. Poured black with a thin brown head that dissipated quickly to the edges and remained there. Aroma had a good amount of roast with some backing chocolate and a hint of dark fruits. Flavor lacked the dark fruits and began with dark chocolate but finished dry with strong roasted and coffee notes.
