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.

Draft at the brewpub. Yellow body, tiny white head. Oddly fruity aroma is pleasant but unexpected. Flavour was sweet pale malt, very light bitterness with more fruity hints. Light cider impressions? Average palate is a touch under carbonated. I was underwhelmed.

[376-20070630] Tap @ Great Lakes (Cleveland, OH). Sweet pineapple citrus orange aroma. Clear, golden orange body with a quick foamy white head. Generically grainy flavour with a bit of malt. Medium body. Not bad, repeatable.

Golden with a white head. Slightly sweet malt and some hops. One of the better lagers I have tried.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a strong mostly lasting white head. The aroma is slightly malty with floral notes as well. The flavor has much of the same but definitely increases in bitterness. This beer is fairly well balanced. Medium light body. Another solid Great Lakes beer.

This beer is trouble. They just go down too easy. Nice golden color. A classic and good quality lager.

From a 12oz Bottle. Pours a transparent, deep brassy golden color with a thick layer of fluffy white head. Rich light malt aroma that reveals notes of cookie dough and fresh bread, highlighted by some floral violet petals and a subtle whiff of herbal hops. Medium bodied, softly carbonated mouthfeel with a great chewiness without being sticky or sweet. Wonderfully clean, yet rich maltiness that brings out some creamy cheerios cereal and light toffee. The carbonation helps lift some of the "weighty" pale malts off the palate, tickling it with a pleasing spice/mild acidity sensation. This transitions cleanly into a refreshing herbal hops final smack. Very nice sessionable brew.

12oz bottle, courtesy of artusory. Thanks, Ryan! Pours a clear, light golden-orange color; fluffy white head with great lacing. Pleasant grapey and lightly citrus aroma; sweet and mellow. Lovely, velvety mouthfeel: some grapes and simple sugar upfront, with a crisp presence of citrus hops mid-palate and some lively effervescence on the tip of the tongue; perfectly sessionable beer. Quick finish, showing sugar and a light mineral note. Excellent stuff.
