Commercial Description:
A German "Export" style lager designed from 1890s family beer records. Using the first Fauerbach paper label from 1890 for artwork, this beer will compete for customers in the broader German/American pilsener group but technically is a Dortmunder/Export style lager for beerologists.

Slightly hazy gold, moderate white head, temporary lace. Caramel aroma with a lot of creamed corn. Flavor heavily into the sulfurous cooked vegetables, with just a bit of hops bitterness to offset this. Not usually what I’m looking for in a beer, but if I accept it on its own terms, there’s nothing off with it. Medium body and zest.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-bronze color. Malty straightforward aroma. The taste is simple, toasty malt and light noble hops, with a slight creaminess. Easy drinking light to medium bodied. Mild German Lager yeast tones and a touch of sugary sweetness. A pleasant surprise, nothing world class, but a perfectly respectable example of the style.

Semi hazy amber with a thin white head, gone. Aroma of caramel, earthy hops and lake water. Thin body is semi grainy and has some caramel and hops in there to go with a mild peppery finish that’s sweet and a touch dry.

Mild caramel and cereal aroma. Golden with white head. Mild caramel, biscuit, and lite hop notes. Syrupy, with a mild bitter finish.

Pours a golden body with a medium sized white head. Lots of carbonation in this brew. Wheat on the nose, but a little grainy in taste. Medium bodied mouthfeel. I thought it was a pilsner at first, it makes sense thats its a dort.

Thanks to Bob for the bottle! Poured healthy medium golden with a well-retained cap of off-white head.. but it was chunkified. The aroma picked up soft bready and caramel notes with dry herbal notes, lemon zest, and sour grains surrounding. The flavor was more centered around the caramel with a bit of cardboard, sour malts, and slight vegetal on the back.. had a tacky, sweeter finish that wasn’t very enjoyable. Lighter-bodied with tackiness, sour notes, and high carbonation throwing off the flow on the palate.. drinkable, but not very good.
