Pours a dark golden color with a small, foamy white head that fades quickly to a sudsy wash. The aroma shows some sweet cereal grains, florap hops, crisp wheat, and some bready yeast. The flavor follows with nice balance between the floral hops, cereal grains, and bready yeast. Medium to light on the body with balanced carbonation with a crisp, dry finish. Really nice tasting session lager.

Dec 9, 2009 Thanks turdferguson for sharing. Pours a soft hazy yellow with a two finger sticky eggshell white head. The nose is bready, malty for sure, lager yeast, some hay, pretty pungent for a lager. Flavor is bready, sweet malt, some hay, earthy. I will also add that for some reason the combination of flavors in this beer reminded me inescapably of crayfish...That aside I really enjoyed it and would seek it out.

Dec 4, 2009 Pours golden with a small, foamy white head. Aroma of grass, wheat, and yeast. The flavor is light, yeast, and a little bit of hops. Light body with a dry finish, a very good lager.

Nov 24, 2009 aroma is very light yeast and some grainy malt. appearance is expected hazy sunshine. flavor is relatively clean malt bill, mostly sweetness, not exactly balanced. unfortunately no real yeast character in the flavor. palate is steaming wet. certainly drinkable but quite dull.

Nov 22, 2009 First nose from the 12 oz bottle is yeast. Pours a fat, thick head floating on a dense and hazy yellow-orange glass of beer. This has a quick lager bite that offers a bit denser mouth feel than most and it does run a smooth, dry finish. Grain and yeast dominate through the middle of this mouthful and I am not as resistant to this beer as many of its style. I’d drink a glass of this on a summer afternoon but wouldn’t travel very far out of my way to get one.

Nov 19, 2009 Enjoyed in bottle form, very similar to Surly’s "Hell" Lager from this past year. The yeast aftertaste is very apparent, and while it’s light it has a very nice, smooth aftertaste. It’s smooth and not crisp, which is what I typically anticipate from the more mainstream lagers. If Old Style tasted more like this, I would drink it more often. Too bad I don’t live in WI and can’t purchase this often.
