Commercial Description:
Called the "champagne of beers" because of the extended aging (lagering) required, ours is fermented slowly and aged a full six weeks. By importing Munich malt and Hallertau Hersbrucker hops from Germany, we have produced a beautifully balanced beer with a hoppy aroma and a full, soft texture.

Bread-like malts are joined by butterscotch in the nose. Clear golden body is topped by a shy white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Butterscotch flavour is quite strong but balanced by fairly assertive bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. Some grainy character in the aftertaste. Dry medium light body is pleasantly quite effervescent. Snifter. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in April 2009.

Hazy golden blonde, decent dense white head. Grainy pale malt with a noticable lemony zip, pleasantly bitter crisp finish. Quite flavourful and well done (I think this should be moved into "premium lager" status).

Unfortunately we don’t get much good lager here in BC. This is an alright beer but not great and it did not even warrant any detailed notes when I drank it at the pub.

Aroma is nice, toasty vanilla. Flavour doesn’t follow the lead. Unappealling grassiness with plastic notes.

Attractive gold. Light white ring. Smells like an amber with vanilla toffee notes. Flavour is more in keeping with a European lager. A bit of hop spice and a grainy finish.

Nearly no aroma except for a faint smell of corn. Pours a clear yellow with a small foamy head with nice lace. Very woody tasting, corn as well, sweet with a sharp hop aftertaste. Thin body with poor carbonation. Interesting wood flavour for a lager, but otherwise... meh.
