jeffin7 (609), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA May 27, 2006 Pours hazy hay with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is of mildly grassy, spicy hops with a smooth graininess. Flavor is grainy, creamy, with a nice german spicy hop bite in the finish. Medium body with a very creamy palate. Very nice and very drinkable.
kmweaver (2273), Nicaragua May 22, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of Schutzenliesel. Pours a murky, orange-grapefruit color; off-white head with patchy, mixed-bubbled lacing. Pleasant yeast character, mineral bitterness, and complex, salty maltiness in the aroma; esters, yellow fruits, and some herbal notes. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of lively citrus, esters, complex yeast, and herbal character; very interesting, intricate chewy rye and fluffy maltiness; very soft feel in the mouth; reasonably tasty stuff; I haven’t had this young, but tastes pretty good from an imperial pils with a load of age behind it. Medium finish: breadiness, toasty malts, and rye. DoubleBubble (107), Mescal Lakes (wherever that is), Arizona, USA Feb 1, 2008 Pours a hazy golden color, with a cream colored frothy head.

Mellow beer and smooth on the palate.
