Commercial Description:
Modeled after the style of beer produced in Baltimore just after Prohibition. The beer is pale in color, is made with 100% malt, and has a very mild Hersbrucker hop character. A great example of the kind of beer our grandfathers consumed.

Light apple juice body with quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is sweet grassy, apple. Taste is bland lager -- apple sweet, slightly grassy, virtually no bitterness. Watery light body. Better than BMC, but essentially an inoffensive beer pursuing fans of the macros.

Pours a transparent deep golden color with a thin, fizzy white head. Aroma of musty grainy malts and plenty of lager yeast character and subtle noble hops. Body starts with a pleasant mild sweetness and some husky malt notes with good hop bittering balance before a dry, crisp, drinkable finish. Very true to style and although it has little complexity, it would make for a good session beer.

Sparkling clear, perfect, Sunshine yellow lager. Very little head. A touch woodsy with notes of damp straw in the aroma. Slightly floral. Decently balanced, although the sweet malt seems to shine through when all is said and done. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp finish. Not a good beer.

Bottle courtesy of beachbum25. Pours gold with a white head. Smells spicy and earthy with some fruity hints. Tastes vegetal and citrussy with a light peppery finish.

Light copper/dark straw colored, with aroma of caramel malt and some hops. Tastes as it smells, with a fairly smooth finish. Finishing hops. Decent.

Received a 12-oz bottle via trade with kmweaver. Pours a clear golden pale with a white head that dissolves fast and leaves behind a fine white film coating. Very good lacing on glass side. Aroma is sweet, light malt with a touch of sweet corn. Good balance of malt and hops. Taste has a medium body with a smooth carbonation. Thought this is listed as a "Premium Lager" category, this is more of an American Lager. A good summer session beer overall.
