I was really hoping this one would be better than the other Berghoff beers I’ve had, but it proved not to be. Gold color, with a head that deflated very fast. Some small lacing, but not enough to elevate the Appearance score. Weak aroma. Flavor was balanced, but lacks further comment. Maybe the new owner of the brewery will put out a better product.

Bottle: Golden color, light head and lacing. Nose is a bit floral and grassy with some light sweetness from the malts. A bit husky, but not much. The flavor is a bit sweet, but clean and drinkable. Light malts, a bit too light in hops. The finish is grassy, wet, eh, not bad.

Corn in the nose, watery, syrupy sweet, hops virtually nonexistent. Not really worth the time, effort of money.

Sampled from tap on 11/11/2006 at the Joseph Huber Brewery in Monroe, Wisonsin... Clear, pale gold color. Moderate carbonation with a big, foamy white head. Light malt aroma and flavor with a hint of fruitiness. Crisp and smooth with a slightly dry finish. Average body and mouthfeel. On a side note: I am glad that I was able to visit the Joseph Huber Brewing Company and take a tour of the facility. It is the second oldest brewery in America, but has recently been bought by a Canadian and will be renamed to Minhas Craft Brewery...

Bottle. Pours golden with an average white head. I enjoy most Huber products, but was actually quite disappointed with this one. Really not much flavor or body here.

Golden color with a white head that quickly diasappears. Very effervescent. Aroma is light sweet malt. Sweet, toasty malt flavors. Quick hop finish for balance. A solid effort.

Bottle into pounder (shaker). Pours out a gold colour with a quickly dissapating bubbly white head. Scent is mild with an overall malty aroma with light toasted notes in the backdrop. Taste is pretty good... elements of apple, malt, and light yeasty notes balancing it very well. Finish is sweet and quick.

Clear gold appearance , average white head and good lacing. Slightly metallic, sweet malt aroma, with a toasty note buried in the back. This is a style that I typically under rate, but this one stood out as a well made, flavorful, decently balanced beer with a good mouthfeel. Dry, crisp, short lived finish.
