Commercial Description:
Made popular in the 19th century in Dortmunder, Germany, these pale golden lagers exhibit a classic clean character with notes of biscuity malts. Bitterness is akin to a German Pilsner with an aromatic aroma. Mouthfeel is firm and even, with an overall dry tone.

In the bottle from a quickie mart in Mackinaw City. This brew pours amber with a thick yellow-beige head. Very malty aroma. Flavor has good notes of caramel and roastedness to the finish. Nice body, not a thin beer. I think this is under rated.

Not sure where I had this.
Pours a weak tea brown with sour vegetables and flat sugar in the nose. Flavor is a mixture of corn malt and stale flowers. Watery mouthfeel. No mac attack here.

On tap @ Coles in buffalo NY. Pours a medium golden color. Aroma has some malty sweetness but rather non descript. Flavor is lacking: some malts sweeter & pilsner. Nothing special

Goodbar Beer Club. Rich gold, thin white head. Nose is herbal hops, minty/spicy notes, light to medium toffee malts. Flavor is rich malt, herbal & spicy hops, huge malt finish - almost meaty. On the verge of being cloying.

From a 12 bottle obtained in a trade with Erik of indiana, this pouerd a clear an light honey yellow with a small white head and virtually no lacing. Nose of sweatsocks and rotten apples. Watery and fizzy mouthfeel. Flavor is malty with a touch of fruit. Finish dry and bland. This is simply a very ordinary beer.

12oz plastic bottle-A clear golden body with a decent head and an aroma of nothing. Taste of a typical Helles with nothing to write home about. I’ve had worse.

12 oz bottle in the Michigan brewing multipack, labeled as "BIg Mac". Yellow pale with white head. Not much aromoa at all, I mean, I understand that it;s not supposed to be much, but come on. I really want to meanly pan this beer and I am not going to write what’s in my notes, all I have to say is asparagus. Med to light in body, only thing that is spot on. One of the worst light beers I’ve had in a while, worse than most macros.

Bottle, has a very clear medium to deep gold pour with a hint of amber and brown colors, has a short lived white head that hangs around as a ring and cover, obviously, this has more color than the typical macro beer, leaves little lacing on the sides of the glass, light malt aromas of bread with faint hops, grain and sweetness, some faint peas aroma in the background, flavor of malt and bread with a very present hop bitterness, there is a touch of honey sweetness but this sweetness is minute on the palate, also, a touch of off flavor in this beer, mouth feel is good, this beer could have been a great beer but the nose and flavor have some off-ness, which is unfortunate, I would have given this drink a better grade if it was not for the off fragrance and taste.
