Commercial Description:
This smooth lager strikes a delicate balance between malt and hops in the aroma, palate, finish and body. It has more body and less hops than a Pilsner, and less malt and more hops than a Munich style lager. 30 IBU.

Appearance has a nice golden copper color. Smells like a lager with nice hops. This is a nice crisp medium flavored lager. A fine example of a lager.

Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a foamy, off-white head and a clear copper body. Aroma of honey, caramel and a bit of cardboard. Overall pretty sweet and bready. Taste is cereal, biscuit and light hops. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Bonus bottle from a trade with blipp. Pours like an IPA - bright copper in color with steady carbonation and a trim off-white head. Smells like a pilsner, very yeasty, but with a touch of mint. Tastes of tangerines and cereal. An odd combination of flavors, but fairly balanced.

Had both bottle and tap. Better on tap. Great overall look. Nice head and leaves alot of lace. Good malt and hops aroma. Clean finish but somewhat heavy mouthfeel. A decent beer.

I don’t think I’ve ever had this style before so this should be interesting in one way or another. I got this from mashmaster which is irrelevant to the review but appreciated. Clear, bubbly, golden but not yellow with a good creamy head listing on top. Smells like lager and honeycrisps. Do you know what those are because I don’t but that is what I smell. Nice flavor but I have a really hard time describing lagers. I definitely tasted a hint of hops. Overall, nice beer and if I wasn’t so lager-ignorant this review might be more useful.

On tap at the brewery. Was an attractive light golden color with a good sized head and good head retention. The aroma was of hopps and of malts. The flavor tasted of good cereal grains and malts. The hopps are balanced nicely. A good brew!

Bottle courtesy McBackus. pours a deep gold with a thin white head. Thick malty aroma with a nice hint of noble earthy hops. Smooth malt taste with a touch of earthy hop bitterness. Tasty, but nothing special.
