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.

On tap at Fries Cafe.
Pours a light gold in color with just a slight head forming on the pour. It’s quickly gone after receiving my beer. Smell is very "lagerish", but surprisingly with some nice piney hops. Taste is more of those nice hops. I’m not a big lager fan, but the hop flavor in this one really let me enjoy this beer. Clean and smooth on the taste. Good beer.

Aroma is very malty with some honey and caramel notes. This beer is fairly clear, although I havs seen clearer, a dark golden color. Flavor is slightly buttery, very smooth. Very slight taste of vegetables, probably from adjuncts. Palate is good, very drinkable. Overalll, a very, very good beer, espiecially for the style. I would definitely buy this if I could get it on a regular basis.

Bottle. Poured a medium golden color with minimal off-white head. Aroma was a bit malty. Flavor was just a touch sweet, malty, and hoppy on the back end. It was OK.

I really enjoy this beer. I’ve had it probably 50 times but only now am I rating it. Not particularly a fan of the lagers including dortmunders but this beer is consistently delicious. Great full body with a nnice malty flavor balanced out beautifully by a noticeable hop presence. Great beer with food.

Pours a beautiful golden color and slightly hoppy aroma with a foamy, but short-lived head. Has a smooth malty flavor with a sharper, hoppier finish.

Bottle. Brilliant gold color wioth a nice white head that stayed a while. Pretty good hop aroma slightly overshadowing the malt aroma. Clean, crisp flavor of malt just slightly overshadowed by the hop bitterness and flavor. Good mouthfeel; not too heavy but, not too thin either. Very drinkable. A very tasty lager.

Pours golden color with nice frothy white head. Has a nice crisp malty aroma. Nice malt based flavor with some very nice notes of fruit and honey, eventually fading into a light hop bitterness that balances out this great beer. By far the best beer I’ve had in this style.
