Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of slight corn and a hint of toilet water. Poured gold/yellow in color with a small, white head that lasted around the edges only. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is slightly sweet. Tastes of lager yeast, grains, and no spruce. Light to medium body. Lightly dry, thin texture. Soft to average carbonation. Lager finish.

Draft pint, at brewery. Pours a pale yellow with a minimal wispy white head. Very light nose, just s bit of bready malt and some light grassy hops. The flavor is much the same, clean and crisp, but not much for flavor. Minimal to no hops up front, but there’s a little on the finish. Light bodied, thin and fizzy. Pretty well serves as the BMC substitute for the masses not interested in drinking the excellent beer they make here.

On tap @ Otto’s. Clear golden yellow with a white head and active carbonation. Bready malt aroma with German hops. Taste is about the same, sweet and malty with a perfect hop bitterness. Crisp and refreshing, I could drink gallons of this on a hot sunny day. Superb for the style and overall.

Draught at Otto’s. Golden, clear, medium-to-strong carbonation, with a short creamy white head. Lovely herbal nose on top of subtle German noble hops, grass, and lovely pale malt. An immediate winner! Creamy medium-thick body, hugely thick malt, ends dry with light hoppiness. I know the name refers to a place and not an adjunct, but it’s hard not to imagine some spruce/juniper tips here, lurking in the background and adding character. In any event, an excellent offering - on this day, from this glass, this Premium Lager is dominant.

Enjoyed at the brewpub on-tap. Apple juice with a minimum normal head. On the watery side. A little hop taste, like a bit watered down. Above average carbonation, It’s somewhat astringent,not very drinkable. 4.8% abv
