Mar 15, 2008 The aroma does not set this beer apart from most lagers save the slightly roasted character. It’s mostly malt and grassy hops. The appearance is a dark gold with a small head and some floating particles. The flavor is quite nice. It’s toasted and sweet like toffee but only a little. The finish is mild and bitter. The palate is smooth. As lagers go this one is Yummy!

Feb 28, 2008 Clear golden pour with minimal head. Sweet caramel and malt aroma. Flavor is similar, with a bitter hoppy finish. Good.

Feb 11, 2008 Cloudy apricot pour with minimal white head, this Munich style lager has the appearance and taste of a zwickle. Smooth and malty with substantially more character than most lagers made in this country.
I find it funny when some reviewers attribute tastes of adjuncts like corn to this lager as this is a true beer brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot.
This means there is nothing in this beer but barley, hops, water and malt.

Nov 18, 2007 Found in my fathers cellar. Bottle aged two years. First american beer to get reinheitsgebot? Pours a cloudy yellow color with a minimal amount of acidic head. Smells like caramel. Most of the hops were gone and the beer was very cidery. Probabley too old but I can still see the merit of this beer. Held up pretty well over those years.

Aug 22, 2007 Bottle from BevMo. Medium golden in color upon pouring. Small foamy white head. Creamy aroma of malt and grains. Maybe a hint of acidity. Fairly flavorful. Some malt to go along with some grainy bitterness. A little hint of hops at the end. Not bad.

Aug 18, 2007 I thought this beer was average, not bad, though. It was slightly darker than a pale beer. It was nicely carbonated, but the beer did have a slightly bitter aftertaste. All in all, I’d buy it again.
