Pours a cloudy orange with about half a finger of off-white head. Sweet malt with a hint of caramel in the odor. The taste is light, starts off with a watery taste that expands into a grassy bitter hop aftertaste. I’m not a huge lager fan, but as far as lagers go, this is serviceable.

Tap: This poured a deep golden with a thin off-white head. The nose gave off a nice combination of carmelly malt, citrus and spice. The hops really come out in this one as it is not far off an IPA. The palate was smooth and rich with a nice lingering finish. One of the better Lager’s I’ve had in a long time.

bottle. pours gold with small white head. nose of sweet malt and spicy hop notes. this fresh bottles yields a pleasent citrus and spicy hop character, clean malt back bone. nice lager.

Pours a deep gold with very little to no head. Aroma is mildly sour and fruity with some sweet malt and honey present. Flavor is very malty with almost no hops. Very grainy and almost a bready aftertaste. Medium bodied with a crisp finish. Nothing standing out here.

Tasted 5/27/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a bright golden amber hue. Finger width of off-white cream colored head. Mild nose with hints of caramel and hearty breads. On the fuller side of light bodied. Good mouthfeel for a lager. Tingling effervescence followed by a slightly salty caramel flavor. Crisp with nice fruity estery undertones. Finishes crisp with a mildly cloying sticky flavor. Decent hop presence. Sticky citrus hops. Nice lacing head. Picked up a six on a whim while in Chicago, and this turned out to be a diamond in the rough! If I was local, I’d definitely get more of this for the summer.
