| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2006 Draft at Malvern Brew Fest. Bill Moore is now brewing at Lancaster, and Bill is known as a lager guy. I had an opportunity to chat with him at this fest, and I am very excited to try his beers as he brews them. His Awesome Ale recipe is one of my favorite APAs ever. This is one of his flagship recipes. It is dark straw colored, with some aroma notes of pale malt, honey, hops, and slight citrus. The flavor is bold and complex for a lager, with honey maltiness up front giving way to a bready fruity element at the finish. PWalk (337), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 1/5 | 14/20 | Jun 4, 2004 A nice dark golden lager that produced a decent off white head. I enjoyed Franklinfest while it was still around. No longer produced but I’m looking for the recipe. Nejhleader (930), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 13, 2006 Had at the Lancaster Homebase. This was good for a pale lager. Had a nice bit of spice to it seemed like it would be a good autumn seasonal. pbjclimber (150), Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Floral aroma and taste was a of sweet malts and a nice floral tone. Not the best balanced beer but a very drinkable beer. kramer (2469), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2009 Sampler, at Lancaster location, labeled Fest Beer Amber Lager. Pours a clear copper body with a small off-white head. The nose is slightly sweet toasted malt with a little bit of caramel and Vienna malt. The flavor is fairly dry toasted malt, pretty clean and crisp, with no flaws. Not really an exciting example of the style, but it is pretty drinkable. Light to medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. This could use a bit more chewness, but it was OK. adrian910ss (1432), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2008 On draft at GL. Pours a light clear coppery orange with a medium beige head. Aroma of grain, wheat and faint hops. Slight malty taste with hints of grain, wheat and faint hops. Has a tangy aftertaste. Parrothead (185), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2006 On tap at a Ravens Roost meeting. Color reminded me of Yuengling Lager, and the flavor did too. Decent aroma, with sweet malt noticable. The head didn’t last too long, but I wonder if that was due to the glass it was served in. Some hops, but in the background. Pretty good brew- MUCH better that LBC Pils, so I hope this will be a mainstay of their lineup. TomDecapolis (3195), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 18, 2006 On tap at the brew pub. Pours a translucent copper/orange with a smaller creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of orange, sweet malts, some caramel, more fruity than I was expecting from a lager. Flavor I was also picking up the citrus, some metallic, smooth, creamy and refreshing, crisp malt sweetness.
