Tap at Hop Leaf. Poured a rusty copper with a small off white head. Aroma was acid with some malts present. The aroma reminded me of blood, not pleasant. Flavor was pretty basic, some malts, a slight caramel flavor. Mediocre at best.

A lightly hazed blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, a rather bland malt aroma, with light vegetable notes. In mouth, a crisp lager with light mineral hops, overall, decent but nothing special. On tap at Map Room, Chicago, May 16 2009.

12 oz. bottle. Nice first effort by a new Chicago brewer. Bright Vienna malt smell in the pour, matching beer color, thin layer of bubbles. Dials back the hops to let some crunchy, toasty malts to the foreground. Fills me up pretty well. A bit of German hop pepper builds up on my soft palate. Worth presenting and serving as a good new Chicago beer, while all the sports and tourist venues keep spewing Miller-Bud.

Guest tap at Flossmoor Station. Yay new Chicago brewer! In a shaker glass, the draft pours a bright golden color with a half finger of white foam. Lightly toasted lager malt smell. Taste suggests a little wheat malt, or is that a touch of corn? A nice layer of peppery German hops, though. Aims for the mass market, but does so very stylishly.
