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... 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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

Bottle. Medium dark amber color with medium white head. Complex malt aroma and flavor with good finish. Very drinkable brew.

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.
