Draft at BA - Clear golden orange beer with a large dense head. Aroma is malty sweet with notes of straw grain and butterscotch. Flavor is also sweet with hints of caramel and grass. Nice clean and does what it promises!

draft @ redlight redlight. Grassy hop nose with sweet malts. Pours clear gold with a huge white head. Crisp noble hops, grassy bitterness, with sweet bready malts, mild and easy to drink. Not bad.

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub this beer poured a dark yellow color with a medium sized white head that lingered and produced nice lacing. The aroma was light, sweet and tangy malts. The flavor was sweet, tangy and had a grape soda element. The finish was long and sweet. Ok.

pours to a large white head. Pale yellow in color. Has a slight hint of wheat or barley. Has a pleasing taste and goes down smoothly.

I checked out this beer with BeerBaron617, my mom and aunt in Frankenmuth, MI yesterday. He suggested it, and I thought why not. I really enjoyed this beer, it would be something that I could drink just hanging out - not something I typically find with the beers I have trying. It poured a medium yellow with a white head. It tasted very smooth and had a bit of a citrus flavor. I really enjoyed this :)

11.2 oz bottle at The Bavarian Inn at Frankenmuth, MI. I was in a very German state of mind today, so I decided to try this. It poured a clear straw yellow, with a medium fluffy white head. I was actually surprised at the flavor, which was quite refreshing, with plenty of malt and a decent amount of hop character, with a slight citrus note on the finish. Very good session beer. Cheers!

500 ml bottle in Germany. The beer pours a golden tan, with a nice head, A sweet-n-sour aroma. A very smooth taste, and not over-poweringly a great example of a "Helles". it’s a good example of why the Big Four as far as ingredients go is not obsolete. A very crisp, and refreshing beer, with a nice aftertaste.
