This is one of those brews that I stayed away from because I knew it was good, but I figured it wouldn’t knock my socks off, so I didn’t bother to drink it again. Well, that was an exercise in poor judgement!! The beer pours a golden tan, with a nice head, especially if the beer is poured at 44 degrees or so. A sweet-n-sour aroma. A very smooth taste, and not over-poweringly " European ". If there’s corn in it, then it’s a good example of why the Big Four as far as ingredients go is obsolete. A very crisp, and refreshing beer, with a nice aftertaste.

On tap at Bilbo Baggins in Alexandria, VA. Pours a light yellow and golden color. Smells sweet and citrus-y, hints of lemon. The same thing can be said of the taste. Very sweet. Hop finish balances out the sweetness upon swallowing but this does not make the beer bitter. A very good, different beer.

Draught at Steinkellers in Oxford, OH. Malty lager with a white head. There was an overwhelming flavor of honey and sweetness but still balanced. Very nice lager.

This is a mild lager, but very well done. A clear, golden color with a firm white head. Taste is on the malty side but an appreciable amount of hops. This is my type of golden lager, not dominated by skunky Bohemia hops.
