Commercial Description:
This refreshing, medium bodied golden colored lager boasts a rich malty flavor with a subtle, underlying hop bitterness for balance and a white, creamy head. Viva la revolution y la cerveza!

Draft at the 2009 MD Spring Fest. Light yellow with a hint of green. Super filtered. Refreshing middle-of-the-road Helles. Well balanced, with a hoppy crispness. Some doughy yeast. All around a good straight forward session beer.

Thought this was pretty good for a crappy light beer. If you compare it to other pale lagers, its nice. Sweet, grainy, good flavor. Most of all, its clean with no skunk.

on tap-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is sweet grain, continental hops (Hallertau?). Taste is sweet grain-honey, continental hops (Hallertau?)-lemon. Mild carbonation.

Draft @ Bel Air location. Boring, watery lager. Seems odd that a brewpub would make a Corona clone - that’s basically what this is. Drinkable, but not DuClaw’s best offering.

On tap @ Arundel Mills. Golden yellow color w/a moderate white head. Aroma of corn & bread dough. Kind of a basic, easy drinking, light, summer brew. This will never be confused w/a classic, world class brew, but it’s not trying to be. It’s just a beer you can knock a few back & enjoy w/o thinking about it too much. Some flavors of bread dough & hay, maybe a little corn. Very slight hop bite. Decent mouthfeel, not too thin. Plesent finish.

Sparkling gold, fizzy white head. Soft cornbread and faint earthy citrus aromas. Flavor is corn and lightly sweetened citrus throughout. Well balanced and refreshing. Light bodied with light carbonation. This would be easy to put a growler down on a typical MD summer afternoon...

An average Cerveza. Enjoyed as a part of the sampler from the Arundel Mills location. Threw a lemon in the glass and it ended up tasting like lemon. Very Corona-like and nothing more, except maybe a fuller body. That’s it.

On tap at Bowie location. It’s supposed to be a Mexican lager. Tastes a lot like Corona. Watery body, light yellow color, thin white head. Under carbonated, barely a trace of bubbles rising. Aromas are of corn, cheap adjuncts. Not much in the way of hops. Not the best beer Duclaw ever brewed, that much is certain.
