Sep 23, 2002 Nothing like the changing of seasons to get me revisit styles I haven’t in a while, well that and access to a hyped beer. This guy is definitely work the effort to find. Attractive (if subdued) malty aroma. Flavor is smooth and wonderful. I wouldn’t classify it as particularly complex, but it is a wonderfully nutty, slightly anisey flavor that is backed by a nice hop kiss. Nice mouthfeel, without being particularly thick in the mouth, which for something short of a bock is definitley an advantage. I wish I had more easy access to this guy, as it would go wonderfully with many a fall evening.

Apr 8, 2003 Carmel or I guess "rich amber colored", translucent. Sweet malty flavor, very appropriate for the style. Lightly hopped. If Vienna is your style, I think I got a beer for you. Cheers.

Jan 2, 2009 12oz bottle from the mix pack. Pours cloudy amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma of malt, bread, spice and lager yeast. Malty aroma with some hop, but an overarching tartness that is ruining what may otherwise be a decent beer. Not seeing that in any other ratings, so maybe I got a bad bottle. Will re-rate if I try again and it is better.

Oct 10, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a clear filtered copper-amber color. Very malty taste throughout, with a nice subdued hop presence to keep it crisp and refreshing. Fairly low amber malt tastes.

Apr 27, 2005 Bottle courtesy of csbosox: Amber body with red highlights, small off-white head that quickly fades to a ring around the outside of the glass. Aroma: slightly acidic caramel and light fruity notes dominate the nose with the barest hint of spice, sweet grains, spicy hops. Medium bodied, soft-medium carbonation, wet. Taste is midly acidic sweet caramel and toffee, malt, fruit, cookie dough, bread, pine. Finishes sweet with the light acidic malt taste balancing things nicely, leading into a mild hop bitterness. A well crafted lager.

Jan 29, 2009 On tap at Nakashima’s in Appleton, WI.
Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head that lingered as a thin cap and left spotty lacing on the way down.
The aroma is dominated by light sweet malts and a definite bready character that borders on a slight sourness.
Taste follows the aroma with light bready malts and hints of caramel sweetness that, like the aroma, has a slight sourness that lingers in the finish.
The mouthfeel is very crisp and clean with no bitterness to speak of and good carbonation.
This is a decent beer that I couldn’t quite get a read on with the slight sourness that creeped in.
