Commercial Description:
Copper/amber in color, cloudy, strong in alcohol (6.8% ABV). Clean lager character with some fruity ale notes. Earthy with flavors of tea and forest nuts. Distinct balance between malt and hops allows the creamy texture to really come through. We earned a medal at the Great American Beer festival in our first year of business with this one and it remains our house specialty to this day.

Wow, is this great beer! My buddy brought me a growler on his way home from a Tigers game (yes, he bought one for himself, too) and it’s all we’ve talked about since. Nice tight creamy off-white head, murky caramel brown in the glass. Malty caramel aroma. Medium mouthfeel. Awesome roasty malt flavor with a mildly bitter, wet finish. Reminds me of New Belgium Fat Tire but more assertive.

Bottle… Lightly hazy, deep orange lager with a small, frothy, white head. Decent retention. The restrained aroma consists mainly of toasted nuts and caramel. Medium to full-bodied with lively carbonation. Pretty well-balanced. Malty, nutty, caramel flavor. Crisp, malty finish. Rich for the style. Bottle courtesy of dmschefke!

Pours a deep amber with thin off-white head. Aroma strong of malt, bread, nutty, and slight hops. Flavor is slightly sweet with a bit more hops bittering than I was expecting. Overall, nice brew and very drinkable.

On tap at a local restaurant. Pours amber red with a light tan head. Aroma of light sweet biscuit. Flavor is mildly sweet, toasty biscuit with a touch of honey, a little like rye, along with a bit of hoppiness and maybe a bit metallic. Pleasant flavors overall, but pretty light.

My first offering from this brewery, is good, but not great. It pours a darker reddish brown, and has decent offwhite head. The aroma is subtle, with some woody notes, along with some caramel. The flavor is malty, with a decent amount of hopiness, and finishes with a sweet back. With this being my hometown brewer, I am neither impressed, nor dissapointed. It’s a good brew, thats very drinkable and was brewed properly. Cheers!

Poured a nice red with a nose that was quite nutty. The nuts came out on the palate alongside wheat and a well done carbonation/hoppy/alcohol bit.
