The aroma is heavily malty and lightly pungent. Bursts of caramel,coffee and milk chocolate. What’s a hop, anyway? This lager screams MALT MALT MALT. All kinds of malty notes. BANG!-TOFFEE! POW!-CASHEWS! KABOOM!-BUTTERSCOTCH!
This sparkling clear lager has an (umm, you guessed it) AMBER hue. The medium-sized, creamy, white head is mostly diminishing.
Flavor? Yep!
Moderately malty and lightly tart up front. Perfectly balanced. Not sweet for one single second. Hint of clover or orange blossom honey; I can’t decide. Doesn’t really matter, does it? My only complaint is that this lager is slightly thin and watery.
Light to medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Short, dry finish. Never heard of this brewer prior to this beer’s arrival in my shipment from kyzr. Thanks to Mitch for this excellent beer. I want more of it. MaltHeads, you are really gonna dig this lager. Reminds me of, but does not equal Lake Tahoe Crystal Bay Red Ale and European Zebra’s Lager. Hey Zebra, get back to brewing and bottling that stuff. wulfhere (217), Billings, Montana, USA

Light brownish amber color--crystal clear.
Mild malt nose followed by a bit of fresh hop bitterness.
The beer is a nice balance between op and malt with a smooth, slightly bitter finish. There's a subtle maltiness to the taste, and a thin mouthfeel. The head is fine white bubbles, but fades quickly to cling to the sides of the glass. One of my favorite beers. beerguy101 (3946), Newark, California, USA

Dark gold in color, not much for a head. I would like to try more of Bayern Brewing beers but they are unavailable where I live. mbgrayson (147), Anaconda, Montana, USA
