Jun 30, 2008 Bottle purchased at Sam’s Wine and Spirits, in Chicago. Pours a clear, pale copper with a dense, creamy, off-white head that leaves behind sticky lace. The nose is of muted toasted malt and a nice compliment of floral hops. Light-bodied without feeling thin, the mouthfeel is soft and clean with a subtle hop bitterness at the finish. The flavor follows the nose: sweet, toasted caramel malt up front backed by an excellent balance of floral hops. This is an exceptionally quaffable and flavor brew. I could easily run through a sixer of this watching a ballgame. Unfortunately, I can’t get it here in KC.

Jun 30, 2008 BOTMC Selection: Poured from the bottle into a double-walled pint glass. Pour produced a golden amber body with a pale yellow head of foam which mostly diminished with moderate lacing. Aroma is well-balanced, with a fair amount of hops, providing a floral scent. Dry, bitter taste,with some malting, and a clean bitter aftertaste. Not overly complex, though full-flavored.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. 12 fl. oz. Clear amber color with fine, white head and nice lacing. Blended aroma of sweet malt and citrus. Thin body with a dry finish. Flavor mirrors the aroma but with a healthy amount of bitterness going down. Clean, crisp, highly drinkable.

Jun 27, 2008 Bottle from Whole Foods in Charlottesville. Brown pour with a medium head. Decent retention, moderate lacing. A much hoppier aroma than expected for a lager. Some sweet notes in the aroma also. Hops are large in the taste also, along with a vegetal, metallic and slightly salty unpleasant flavor. Interesting stuff.

Jun 26, 2008 Sparkling amber, small fizzy head. Herbal and biscuit malty nose. Flavor is slightly buttery caramel malts, herbal hops. A bit watery but smooth palate. Nicely hopped, crisp lager, not that far from a (really) poor IPA even.
