Light grainy coriander aroma. Hazy golden color with a small airy head. Light malt start quickly developing a strong hop bitterness that lasts long into the finish. I would put this in the American imperial pilsner class.

Pours a thick sudsy head with a clear pale color. The nose is rathe rbland with mild hints of flowers and some earth tones. The flavor is just as bland as the nose. Overall it could use some more hops and malt to balance the flavor out.

Draft at Redlight. Bright crystal clear gold color. Foamy head. Herbal hoppy nose. Floral and spicy hop flavors, Malts are thickish with a strong sugar cookie presence. Full bitterness in the finish.

Draft @ redlight redlight. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. On the nose light malt and quite hoppy (floral) all done very smoothly. In flavor hoppy, bitter, toasty malt, quite tasty. Finish is crisp and smooth with a nice bitter hoppiness. Quite impressed for a domestic lager!

Wow. Not a lager. Let’s call this an IPA. In fact, when I blind tasted it, I thought it was Lenny R.I.P.A. but off a bit. If all lagers were like this , I’d drink them every day.

bottle - Pours deep gold and clear with a one finger slow fading head that laces well. The aroma is of floral hops, some grainy malt, and a hint of citrus. The flavor is moderately hopped with enough pale malt to balance it out. The result is a good, quaffable beer.

Draft. Dark golden/light amber pour. Interesting beer that doesn’t quite seem to know what it’s going for. Tasted more like an American pale ale to me. Did not seem abundantly hoppy. Somewhat grassy and sweet. Some flowery notes. Just okay overall.
