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.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with DeuceDeuceOU. Pours a brilliant clear gold with a moderate white head that lasted through most of the glass and partially coated the glass. Light but pleasant floral aroma along with a little bit of malt. The malt and hops come through more in the flavor, especially the hops. Medium bitterness at the finish. Not my favorite style, but not a bad representation either.

This lager poured a dark yellow colour with not much of a foamy off white head. Scents included eggs, earth, sweet malt and grass. First taste had a off flavour with more eggs on the palate. Slightly watery but flavours of corn syrup and hop did come through at the end. The finish is slightly hoppy and sourish. I think I could have gained a fresher bottle.

Thanks to Dankman for the bottle! Pours slighty hazy shade of gold. White fizzy head with light lacing. Hoppy aroma with malty backbone. slighty bitter finish as hops are mentionable, very sessionable beer

Pours out a nice golden/dark straw color with a nice white head. Malty aroma with slight grass. Very drinkable, malty with slight grassy hop presence, slightly dry finish. Solid, thanks to Santa

12oz bottle. Aroma is fantastic, floral, citrus, peach, and a little sweet malt. Average sized white head that mostly lasted and left great lacing. Gold amber hue. Flavor is great as well. Good malt that finishes a little bitter. Palate is smooth and light-medium bodied. The only thing that detracts is the long finish. A little bitter after taste that lingered on the roof of my mouth. Best lager I’ve had to date, quite drinkable, highly recommend.

Bottle. Pours a small white head. Not much aroma, but nice on the palate with a decent balance between malt & hops, just as advertised. Makes a very good session lager.

On tap. Aroma is a little hoppy, some lite sweet scents as well, golden amber pour with white head that sticks around for a bit. Taste is a little bitter with some hint of grain and hops. some slight citrus flavors in there as well. Very smooth and very delicious.
