Bottle from the Davis Co-Op. Pours slightly translucent gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of somewhat earthy/pit peach with a note of citrus. Med body. Lush in the mouth. Dry. Bitter, but not excessively so. Flavor is peach pit, spice, tangeloe, with a hint of zest. Very nice lager. :)

Capped 500 from The Davis Food Co-op. Pours clear darkish amber with a moderate creamy beige head. Aroma is roasty/malty with some grass/spice notes. Med body. Flavor is pretty much the aroma but the grass/spice is fairly strong - renders the brew more bitter than many of the style. Very good flavor.
