Brilliant deep gold colour. Just a thin head. Light caramel aroma. On the palate, more of that similar caramel note. Lowish bitterness. It's a bit on the sticky side as a result. The malt development is okay, could be a bit more complex.

On a flight in the Taproom at Pike Place, Seattle on 11th August 2025. Light golden body, slight haze; on top a white crown. Nice blend of hops and malts, mini citrus bite and a piney resinous, earthy undertone, decent malt action for a semblance of balance.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Larrabee. Tried lots of lagers, and had to take a can of ale home. Clean golden pour, shiny. Biscuit grains, subtle grassy hop nose. Bright and crisp flavor, easy drinking IPA with an IPL feel. Very clean finish. Quite a nice addition to their lager showcased lineup.

Draft .2L pour at Larrabee, Bellingham. Clean caramel dark pour, patchy head. Toasty flavor throughout, bold caramel notes, nutty grain profile lingering late into the palate. Flavorful dunkel. Enjoyed this one.

Draft .2L at Larrabee, Bellingham. Clean, somewhat pale golden pour. Thin head. Crisp, clean, refreshing pilsner. Cracker grains, some straw. Grassy hops with a mild but noticeable bitterness. Clean and flavorful pils grain finish. Nice and refreshing. Very enjoyable.

Quite pale with a slight haze. Sourish, kettle, but kind of bland. Flabby. Not their wheelhouse apparently. Sour apple sort of character.,

Darkish amber with some haze and a thin head. Sweetish, caramel notes, off-dry finish. Decent bitterness. The malt character isn’t bright and expressive like the classic Bavarian examples but there is some complexity there.

Medium brown. Toasty, some cocoa. Lean, off-dry finish but a decent malt character and just enough hop.

Quite pale with a very slight haze. Wheaty, a bit herbaceous. Dry but blandish hop and clunky malt.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound Oktoberfest. Clean and clear golden orange pour. Quick fading head. Really crisp and easy drinking lager. Flavorful caramel and spicy malts. Bready finish. Well rounded, and keeps the glass tipped upward. Very nice.
