12 oz bottle. Golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of pale barley malt and light breadiness. A soft floral hop aroma as well. Lightly floral flavour with a light sweetness. Very clean and softly bready. Light toast. Nice refreshing brew.

draft. Cereal yeasty aroma, feint notes of honey, with a little spiciness. Pours golden blonde with a thick white head. Malty, cereal-like, small amounts of honey, nothing special.

Bottle: Pours a clear golden color with a white head. Aroma, corn, grassy notes, bready malts. Flavor, very dry, grains, herbal hops, very clean finish, the taste is gone almost before it’s swallowed.

POurs cloudy gold. With notes of malt and hops and the corn and deep grain flavors sow on the palate. It does drink very crisp and dry.

Mildly cloudy gols, thn what head. Corny and grain aroma, corna and grain taste. Maybe some vaguely stale notes, too. Rather nondescript.

12 oz bottle. Seems to be a wide range of opinion on this one., Sweet grain malt aroma. Flavor is right on style for a Dortmunder, and seemed better than most to me. Sweet grain malt and lager flavors. A light touch of lemon. Nice medium to light body but not watery. Fresh and clean tasting. Drinkable and pleasant.

On draught at Penn brewery on 6/3/07. Usually a very clean Helles, when fresh at the brewery this beer turns into a whole nother beer. The subtle yeasty notes really turn this from your standard helles into something much more meaningful, yeast is good no matter what the style and it’s alway fun to see a lager with a little more depth.
