Jul 14, 2009 Tap at the Dulles location. Pours clear copper with a large off-white head. It generated Belgian lacing. Aroma of caramel. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is lightly roasted caramel with veggy/grassy hop. Perhaps a tad sweet, but not very. There’s certainly enough hop to keep a balance. Finishes towards dry, and bitter persists into the finish. Goes a bit creamy over time. Take this over any macro or yellow pale lager.

Jul 2, 2009 Overall Impression:
These guys make a pretty decent lager. Relatively standard, but well done brew, with the malty caramel flavors you might expect from this style.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Deep cloudy amber-ish gold, diminishing white head. Cereal grain bready yeast aroma, some slight resin hop bitterness. Taste is the same, solid grain malt body, almost chewy - solid, no harshness at all.

May 18, 2009 20090518 12oz bottle from Fresh Market in Huntsville, AL. Dark gold with small, quickly fading head. Nice malt aromas, bready, mild floral and grassy hop notes. Pleasantly soft body with lively but light eff. Clean flavors mimic aroma, light bitterness to clean up the finish. In all an enjoyable, quaffable beer.

Apr 10, 2009 Fairly impressed with this lager. Nice orang/caramel brown color.Nice thin head sitting on top. For lager it looks great. Nice toasted malt aroma, with some yeast aromas that are noticeable. Not extremely pungent in terms of good beer, but as far as a lager is concerned it smells great. Nice toasted malt taste. Slight butter taste, with a smooth finish. Pretty good lager. I am not upset that I bought a 6-pack of this. There is a dry finish as many of you have said. That is one of the downsides.
