Moderate malt aroma with some grain and moderate yeasty notes. Small head, like most Pete’s brews, white in color. Yellow/gold in body. Mostly diminishing head, also like most Pete’s brews. Moderate malt, decent aftertaste. Decent Munich malt flavor. Not bad.

she’s golden but that’s not neccessarily a good thing. this butch gives little head and leaves a minimal amount of lace. overall she’s a butcher.

A good example of the Helles style. Nice bitterness with that distinctive Munich maltiness.

do what you can to exaccerbate a ferocious thirst, like hiking the grand canyon in august with a rock in your shoe and dirt in your mouth, vultures hovering overhead, to best appreciate the subtle qualities of this brew. it’s a nice golden orange with a smallish head- for a munich lager- but never mind what it looks like--just drink it out of the bottle. put ice cubes in it. who cares? a drink like this may be "wicked" in saudi arabia, but here it’s as fierce as a muzzled manatee. refreshing. whoopee. some malt. little hop. a kinderbrau. yawn.

Not very impressed. Bitter but not a hops bitter. No real depth, goes down like water. Very thin and lackluster.

Munich style. Okay head with a bit of lace. I’d drink more of them, but wouldn’t go out of my way to ask for it.
