| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 30, 2005 Bottle... Clear, golden lager with a large, frothy, off-white head. Very good retention. Malty, peppery nose with notes of honey and white bread. Decently balanced flavor, but a touch on the bitter side. Medium-bodied and astringent with moderate carbonation. Finishes medium bitter and very dry. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 11, 2005 A tad bit darker than the standard lager. Aroma is slightly skunky, but with a good bit of caramel and honey. Funky flavor, slightly oxidized, but some notes of honey and flowers. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2005 12oz bottle - Poured golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of caramel malts grains, and a touch of hops. Taste is much the same. Some yeast as well. A sweet brew with a decent bitter finish. Medium bodied and pretty good for the style. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 28, 2005 Fresh bottle just arrived in MD - Sparkling gold, creamy white head. Nose held notes of toasted caramel, grains, florals, and bread. Nice toasted grain and light caramel flavors throughout, yet it’s followed up nicely with a decent German spicy hop bitterness in the end. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Very drinkable and worth a try for you Dort / Helles fans....

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 26, 2005 Light golden color & fizzy. An average lager - this tastes like most of the other Christian Moerlein beers. Kind of malty, honey like sweetness and clean. A bit of hops at the end. Meh. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2005 This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of off-white colored fine to large sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated transparent orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was mildly malted and the mouth feel was thick and smooth. The flavor contained notes of mild caramel malts. A decent lager. Tmoney99 (4786), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2005 Not too bad. Lighter in color and a bit swet with a light, but hoppy taste. Had this on draft near Dayton, OH. I would definitely drink it again.
