Bottle - thanks bob!. Pours crystal clear reddish amber, small off-white head, dissipates quickly, some lacing. Aroma is malty, nutty, caramel, grass. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, bready and nutty malts with a bit of grass. A bit metallic on the finish. Light body.

12oz bottle poured into a large wine glass with a large head that fades and completely covers the surface. Color is akin to clear honey. Aroma is slightly vegetal, grainy lagered malt. Flavor is a bit mineral (in a good way) with sweet lagered malts (not sugary). Finishes slightly fruity. Medium body for a lager. Its there, its a beer, no flaws. A sweeter lager but nothing that I will remember.

12oz bottle (not sure if it is fresh). Dark golden color, slick appearance to the hue with medium clarity. Small head fades quickly. Aroma has the requisite banana esters. Sweet smelling, some pear esters as well. Flavor is a little flatter and a little mineral. Decent hefe, a little off on the flavor, needs some life to it.

Had this on tap at the brewpub and currently out of the bottle. It was fantastic on tap and damn good out of the 12oz bottle. The bottle is not fresh but the only side effect is a very very large head. Foamy as heck but settles down rather fast. This also appears to be bottle conditioned, may be not. But it gets cloudier with the later pours (may be protein or something). Originally it is clear straw color. The beer smells of mineral and cut grass, lively feel. Mouthfeel is alive and tingle, evaporates off the back of the tongue. Taste is similarly clean and mineral. Fresh, crisp beer. Good job and apparently able to sit in the bottle for a while. Picked up in the discount bin at Wine and Cheese.

Sampler at the brewpub. This was delicious, muddled, muted golden body. Aroma snaps with noble hops, herbally, fresh and green. Clean crisp with bread behind that. Great crisp body with a perfect above average carbonation to go along with the prickly hops. Flavor is similar to the aroma, with a great bitter kick. Finishes super easy. The wine server at the Three Saints winery tasting room told me she thought this beer was too bitter, so now you know. If I could get this fresh in a bottle, I would drink it all summer long.

This was on tap at the brewery in Hermann. It was not even advertised as the pomegranate, I happened to overhear the bartender telling someone else about it. After inquiring myself, I was informed it was an experiment that the brewery was playing around with. Unfortunately, it was not my bag of tricks. The Hefe itself was not as estery as I would like, muddled. The pomegranate syrup was not sweet but grainy, just did not add anything to the beer I liked. It was light, well attenuated, good crisp body but not as Hefe-fy as I like it and the pomegranate (which I would never have guessed was even added) didn’t play out well or work with the beer.

Sampler at the brewpub, in a plastic cup. This is a nice beer at first, very hoppy.... assertive and aggressive. Its mostly herbal and floral hops. Well attenuated thus highlighting the hops. However, and the ratings seems to be circulating around this, a diacetyl aspects arises as the beer warms. Not the worst level but not working with this beer at all. 7.3.6.3.13

12oz bottle poured into a large Fischer tulip glass. Dark brown color, too dark to see through but no sediment. Small head fades quickly. Aroma is well lagered with earthy clean malts and some dry cocoa. Flavor has a slightly spritzy element getting in the way a bit, which leads to a bit of a mineral flavor within sweet yet clean well lagered dry maltiness. So, its pretty much right to style without anything special. Its very drinkable, well made... good stuff. It wont blow you away but its a solid, well made American doppelbock, can’t say that too often.

12 oz bottle purchased at The Wine and Cheese Place in St Louis, Missouri. Pour is slight haze straw golden with a billowing three inch pure white head. Falls slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is a soft fresh cracker malt, along with mild breadiness. In the back is a zippy hoppiness and mineral. Clean and fresh nose. Taste is the cracker malt, followed close behind by a pleasant fruit sweetness, and finishing dry with the hops and mineral. As with the nose, fresh and clean. The palate is light bodied, with nice active carbonation and an unfiltered mouth feel. Dry finish, really drinkable. I really enjoy the beers Tin Mill makes, they really know what they are doing.
