Description
We’ve always relied on our wits to give us an edge. We tried things others wouldn’t and refused to let being smaller keep us from thinking big. To become masters of our craft, we had to be pretty darned crafty. This spirit is at the heart of everything we do—and in every drop we brew.

473ml can that pours a clean, light golden colour with a fairly creamy white cap that has very good retention and leaves tiny clouds of lacing. Pilsner malt aromas with the sweetness and cereal notes. The taste has enough hops to help the crisp mouthfeel have a decent dry finish. Not as spicy with the hops as many Pils, but some mild apples. Goes down nicely. Will have to try cold on a hot summer day soon.

Part of their 12-pack Fireside Favourites. Pours a clean golden-amber colour with a frothy-creamy warm cap, good stay and some creamy-foamy lacing. Malty nose with some sweetness, all from the cereal grain malts. The taste shows more the spiciness of the rye balanced with the hops, not being sweet. A slight dry mouthfeel. This is an easy drinking lager that has more than average in the mouth. Decent.

750ml brown bottle that pours a clean golden-amber colour with a big frothy, light-beige head, with good retention and full wavy lacing. Cereal grain malt aromas with some fruitiness, hints of spices and caramel. Flavours are lightly sweet with the cereal notes blending in. The spiciness seems to come from Saaz hops as I get a feel of pilsner, more than actual spices. This is a nice easy-drinking stronger blonde ale.

Had to try! Clear bottle. Pale gold. Tastes and smells like a super market non alcohol beer. Sweet corn syrup and cereal.

Somewhat chalky, grainy aroma. Grainy, somewhat medecinal flavor with the slightest touch of grassy hops.

Grainy, honeyish aroma. Malty flavor with ahorn syrup and caramel. Low on bitterness, but not too bad. Like a Franconian dunkel that has been to the plastic surgeon and forgot to speak with a Bavarian accent.
