May 22, 2008 It’s gonna be a photo finish, folks, as there are just days till we fly right past the "BEST BEFORE" date of June 08 notched onto the front label.
Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body supporting a hefty crest of whiteish foam.
Smell: Delicate toasty maltiness with a pleasant spicy, floral hop scent.
Taste: Crisp, toasty malt flavor with a restrained sweetness that’s quickly scrubbed away by a spicy, floral hoppiness and medium bitterness. Finishes with a lingering spiciness and some sweetish grain hints.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Soft, medium level of carbonation.
Drinkability: A fine, tasty lager from Brooklyn. If only every trip to Lagertown could be as satisfying.

May 14, 2008 Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Ma’abarot, May ’08. Deep golden with a small white head. Aroma of slightly floral hops. Flavor starts sweetish with some malt, caramel and bready notes, and and finishes bitter and hoppy, a bit sharp. Medium-bodied. Rather nice.

May 10, 2008 On tap at the Field House in Phila. Dark but clear mahogany color with firm head, nice looking beer. Mild malty aroma, a hint of hops. The flavor was doughy and caramel malts without being too sweet. The malts were well balanced with earthy and bitter hops, but not overpowering. Medium body, well balanced flavors, and a dry finish made this a very drinkable and enjoyable quaff. I hope it is as good from the bottle as I plan on buying a case. Well done lager.

May 6, 2008 Guy at Jasper’s in Nashua recommended this as complementary to Sam Adams Lager. Doesn’t quite measure. A little hoppier than I like, and seemed fizzy to me. I am not a Vienna aficionado, so take with grain of salt. But in my humble opinion, it’s a rare case of the mainstream Sam actually being better than the micro.
