Commercial Description:
Relax and go back to a time when things were slower and you didn't even know what millenium meant. Our German style lager is SLOWLY fermented and aged to give it a smooth rich lagered taste. Classic Noble hops and a lager yeast strain are used to impart true European characteristics.

A great Helles - If anyone ever wants to know what Tettnanger tastes like, steer them to Nothern Indiana - I procured a sixer from CityWide in Mishawaka; a pretty good little beer store. This is a super pale malty, highly yeasty rendition (slightly acidic, citric) - lots of country hay, great body, make sure to drip a few drips back into the bottle and swirl all the residual stuff back into your glass; makes the beer softer and fuller. No traditional malt sweetness; this is grassy, dandeliony. Almost to Dominion Lager and Victory Helles and Burgerbrau Wolnzacher territory; yes, it’s that good and I’m a freak for this style. Actually, a lot like Cisco’s Summer of Lager, another great one! Some quality inconsistency within the six pack, but not much.

Bottle from BBB63 shared during the great exodus. Clear golden colored with a nice white head. Aroma of honey and banana?? which is out of place but pleasant, could be a nose malfuntion. Crisp, refreshing. Excellent balance between malt and hop. A great session beer in this style.

This is a nice sweet malty helles - malts are thick, slightly carbonated, but very smooth. Hay and grassyness in the aroma and at the finish - nice hop presence here. Very light citrus notes - here at the end there mingling with the sweet bready malts. I liked this one a lot - thanks Mike!

This was a nice change of pace at the Atlanta gathering after many samples of BIG beers. A lager very similar to a European pilsner. Golden appearance with a nice head. Flavor was slightly bitter. Very clean and refreshing. This would make an excellent session lager when you are in the mood for something lighter.

On tap at the Indiana Microbrewers Festival -- Golden yellow color with a fine white head and nice, clean nose. Clean, crisp malt sweetness with a dry finish. Good micro lager. Why aren't the macros this good?

2004 SE Gathering: Pours a cloudy orange with a banana aroma. Flavor is light and fruity with overtones of banana. Watery texture.
