<i>Draft, at the Downers Grove pub. <b>#5 of 31 US Beers for <a href=http://www.americanbeermonth.com>American Beer Month</a>.</b></i> Clean, golden pils color and a firm head. Has a bit of a yeasty lager smell. Nice biscuity malt taste and a German hop profile that increases as you go further down. Seems to match the DAB water, too. There’s a touch of banana ester that suggests it may have lagered a bit too warm, but that does not ruin the experience of a pretty darn good lager.

At Emmett’s Ale House in Downers Grove: This seemed like a robust version of the "Munich Light" that they had some months ago. Deep gold in color with a modest white head, it has a sweet malty aroma with floral & herbal hops. Medium-bodied, it’s moderately sweet with a decent hop balance and a crisp, bitter finish.
