Bottle poured to glass. Pours a amber color with slight red hue and average white head. Great flavor but falls a little short for some reason.

On tap while waiting for flight at Ohara. Nice but almost a lager. Lots of buttery notes, good head and clean finish

Pours a beautiful amber hue with a light tan head. Aroma is hops and citrus. Creamy smooth on the palate, its flavor is carmel and malt. Fairly dry finish. Nice beer but not exceptional, it pairs well with snacks or cheese and crackers.

Pours orange with a hint of read with a finger of rapidly dissipating stark white head. Caramel notes in the odor. A very light mouthful (as with just about every berghoff beer), with taste thats starts off with a hint of caramel and spice, and ends with some slight hop bitterness. Better than some of the other Berghoff fair.

A nice looking ale, a very noticeable grassy aroma, and biscuits. The mouthfeel is very light and it finishes very smoothly. A decent beer, but not sure why its so famous.
