Las Vegas airport (Draught): Cloudy yellow. Aroma of clove-like phenols. Some citrus. Strongly phenolic flavor with well integrated hoppy finish. Lingering banana notes. At first a nice authentic hefe but the phenols are really over-done here, approaching band-aid flavors. Too much of a good thing, distracting, borderline unpleasant.

Las Vegas airpor, draught: Light malt aroma, clean. Clean malt flavors. Lightly hopped. Aromatics hint at herbal and floral. Fizzy and light in the end. Almost a nice helles, not up to Dort standards as the name implies, in total a good step up from American Standards (probably all malt).

Las Vegas airport, draught: Orangey amber color, light caramelized aroma. Flavor: holy diacetyl batman. Lots of butterscotch, a little caramel. Interesting at first but quickly becomes distracting and unpleasant. Bottled beer: Much less diacetyl but still present. Better caramelized flavors but not true Munich melanoidin.

Las Vegas airport, draught: Light malt aroma. Yellow gold color. Sweetish but not bocky, not even maibocky. Butterscotch notes are definite, but less apparent than in the marzen I sampled. Uninspiring.

No aroma worth talking about. Golden not much carb or head. Bland malt and pretty boring.

Tasted at Oakville, but it was brewed at Whitby
Medium brown; too much fusel alcohol - gak! Lightly chewy, toffee malts, hint of woody, almond skins. At 6.5% they would have had to work hard to get all those higher alcohols in there, and that is definitely not worth the effort.

Tasted at the Oakville branch, but brewed at Whitby
Full gold colour; biscuity malts in the nose are appetizing. Mild palate, some crisp hoppiness - lime, hay, flowers. Minty note in the finish. Has some good elements, but needs to expand upon them because it comes up light overall.

On draught at Frog Bear Wild Boar, and coincidentally not available at the Gordon Bierch two doors down. Dark gold with an orange hue, medium thick off-white head and little lacing. Aroma is alternatingly fruity and malty. Flavor is kind of tangy, without much malt balance. Rather clean finish but I thought this was pretty average. Alcohol level was well hidden.
