May 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rich amber with a thin head. Aroma is sweet malts and yeast. Notes of bread, pine, caramel, and hops come out as well. Taste is hoppy than I expected, but the finish is dry and stronf with malts and dark fruit. I am not a big lager fan, but this one is drinkable.

May 8, 2009 Bottle - Beautiful copper pour with a big foamy head. Sweet caramelly malt on teh nose -- smells clean and crisp. Taste is hoppier than I expected -- there’s a good snap when the beer hits the back of your mouth. I actually want a bit more malt to balance it, though it’s still very drinkable. Smooth and non-offensive in the mouth. Nice, clean, and sessionable.

Apr 28, 2009 Pours a clear copper/brown color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, caramel and hops with a bit of a pine note. Taste is toasted malts with sweet-like fruit notes and grassy hops. Light-to-medium bodied. Smooth, and very easy to drink.

Apr 19, 2009 Thanks George.
I poured this bottle into my Pilsener glass and it produced a finger worth of white head that turned to a thick lace. The body of the brew was amber to brown.
Aromas of caramel malts and bread filled my head. The flavor was malt forward and with a light bitter finish. It had a nice light and crisp feel in my mouth with great carbonation.
I really like drinking these great lagers; it is a great change of pace
