Not my favorite style, nor beer from this brewer. Too sweet- corn like. Not much malt flavor. Again, I’m biased because I am not a fan of this style, but this one was nothing remarkable.

Pours a clean gold, about a finger and a half creamy head. Looks like a nice lager should... rather nice. A nice, light citrus/fruit nose, a nice touch of hops in there. Fruity, sweet malt flavours, followed by hops. Quite a nice balance of malts/hops, with a rather hoppy finish. This is a good, straight forward lager, and I’d say it’s quite honest to the commercial description. Not at all overly carbonated, though perhaps not too crisp, either. Again, a decent balance, and a nicely rounded lager. Quite good for its class, and fortunately, it’s a local brewery. It serves as a good respresentative of its style.

Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and a touch of floral noble hops. Starts with a decent body and carbonation with pleasantly sweet notes and good bitter balance before a smooth finish. Pretty true to style and very drinkable. A nice lager.

Draft sample at brewery. Pale gold with white head. Aromas of salty corn chips, light malt, metal, and some grassy hops. Clean, bright flavors of all of the above, very mellow, with a slightly grassy finish. Very nicely done, and seems to hold up consistently in the bottle.

6/20/08 - Draft sample at brewery. Pours clear yellow with white head. Nose slight corn. Decent lacing. Nice, clean, malty lager with an abundant of of hop flavor, crisp and clean, slight bitter and corn. Tasty light lager.
