Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a white head that fades over a clear golden body. Aroma of rain, honey and sweet bread. Taste is grainy, with honey. Fizzy and dry. Forgettable.

Bottle that starts out looking dingy gold and ends with a color that a generous observer might call copper (on some sort of limited color wheel). Head is a small film of tiny bubbles and aromas are grassy with some caramel and biscuit maltiness. Flavor is dominated by watered down biscuit with a bit of honey and a little bit of a grassy presence in the finish. It’s good enough, but kind of boring.

Bottle with thanks to Mark. Pours a dingy orange with a minimal head and aromas of lemon and grass. Flavor is pretty sweet... honey, coriander, lemon and grass. This is fairly sticky for a lager and comes off much better than expected.

This is a local beer I tried on tap at a local bar. I remember this being much better in the bottle, rather light traditional German-esque lager, very refreshing and easy to drink. I support my local brewer!

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.
