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.

Pours a golden amber body with a modest white head. Nice sweet malty aroma with a touch of floral/grassy hops. Medium bodied, this has a light caramel and bready malt taste with just a hint of hop bitterness to balance it out. Not bad.

Alright, I get to rate two select lagers within a month of each other. This should be interesting. Dark golden with just a hint of orange in the color. smaller off white head. Rising bread dough and flour aroma. Only a hint of hops, light hay, in the nose. Mild crisp feel. Words are escaping me. An amalgamation of pale malt, light oak, petunias and berries (I am thinking blue, but maybe gose). Finish as crisp, with a light caramel apple flavor. Interesting, but I do not envision myself drinking copious quantities of this. Thanks for the efforts slikwily.

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

Dark straw colored with aroma of hopcit, some florals, and some honeyish sweetness. Tastes of pale malt, with some hopcit and a smooth finish. Not bad.
