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.

Bottle. Pours gold/amber with a fizzy head that deminshes quickly. Smells malty sweet and a hint of floral/piney hops. Tastes crisp, earthy, bitter, malty almost corn/grainy. Smooth. Pretty good. Each drink leaves you wanting another. gets better as it warms as it brings out more of the hop flavor which is what im fond of.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, medium golden color with a white fizzy head that dissipated quickly and leaves minimal lacing on the glass. The aroma is slightly malty with the hop aroma becoming more noticeable as it warms in the glass. The taste is very well balanced with an initial malt sweetness and finished by a nice hop bitterness. Medium body. Clean.

Draft at GL. Pours a golden body with a white head. Sweet malty with a very light hoppiness. Very smooth and sessionable. Hints of fruit.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep golden/copper color with a 2 inch head. Aroma is perfectly balanced between malt and hop. Can’t really pick out the dominant note there. Flavor is malty up front, then the hops show up, then the malt returns for the finish. Very well balanced session beer, good for summer. Also the perfect crossover beer for your friends who haven’t quite made the leap to craft yet. Could pass as a macro lager on appearance, but flavor is anything but.
