Commercial Description:
A classic Munich-helles style lager with the emphasis on complex malt flavors and low hop character - in accordance with the style. Brewed with 2-row pale and Caramel 60 malts and Saaz and Hallertau hops. This was the first American beer to certifiably pass the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot Purity Law of 1516.

Bottle from trade with shigadeyo. Poured copper in color with a creamy white head that somewhat lasts and renews with a slight twirl of the glass. The aroma found a ok malt and light hop mix but a little too light to pick out anything in particular. The flavor had citrus, wheat, and a decent malt background. Light body and slightly oily.

The Christian beers are usually sold with some disclaimer about it was an Ohio first or some such bravado. Well it is no longer brewed in OH and any dortmunder that shares it style with the Gold brewed in Cleveland pales in comparison, especially when coming from the same state. A burnt orange color with a head of very large bubbles that disappear quickly. A stale hop aroma, the american equilivant to the skunky Canadian aroma of their macro beers. And to think I got this on sale for only $6.99/6er.

Pours a deep orangish amber color w/ a shallow, beachball spattered froth that reduces to nothing. Aroma is grainy and slightly skunky. Medium neactar w/ soft residual effers. Fat malty backbone supports a mildy sweet brew w/ nuances of caramel, aged citrus, and honey. The finish is long and bittered nicely w/ mild hops. This is a good lager although a bit skunky.

Smells like a lager. Light malt with a grassy note. White head that disipated rapidly. Something of an amber color. Medium mouthfeel. Malty. Not much hop, but enough to balance the finish. Ends dry, and the hop and malt compete.

Pours a caramel tinted golden brown with a pretty thick fading head. Aroma is pale malt, taste is malty and very crisp and refreshing. A good easy to drink lager.

Bottle from Craig (shigadeyo) Thanks! Pours a clear amber with a fading off-white head. Sweet aroma of nuts and herbal hops. Sweet taste of nuts and cookie dough with a crisp and slightly grainy finish. Sessionable!

Bottle from Craig (shigadeyo) Thanks! Pours out a light brown color. No head. Smell is sweet and yeasty with some hints of grass and sugar. Taste is smooth and malted, interesting and full of corn. Not special. Not the worst of the style though. Thanks Craig.

Pours out golden with little to no head. Aroma is fairly impressive with a sweet aroma and hay. Taste is malty and sweet reminded me of straw and corn. Not a too impressive hop profile but they are there. Thanks to ross for sharing this.
