Tap. Sweet buttery malt aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Butter malt flavor. Another with high diacetyls - described as a German style lager - this was closest to a Helles or a Maerzen but hard to put a finger on due to the diacetyls.

Tap. Sour lemon malt aroma. Pale yellow color with small head. Slightly sour barley flavor with a moderate hops finish. Advertised as a light beer so compared to most light pale lagers, this is very good.

Blech. Weirdly salty, and sour. Like medium-bodied, beer flavored pickle juice. Couldn't stand more than 4-5 sips - that was enough to convince me I wasn't hallucinating about that flavor. Each sip made my face contort. (from King of Prussia, PA locale)

(Sampled at King of Prussia, PA) Plenty of flavor and nicely balanced. Nice toasty malt flavors, and medium hop flavor. Very easy drinking. Good brown coloring. Short head.

Fairly lactic, good dose of fruit. Pretty good American attempt at the style, in the range of a Timmermans, perhaps.
