Oct 7, 2004 2004 draught (Boston). Served a slight copper tinged deep yellow with a small white head. Aroma has hints of light grains, doughy malt and lightly spicy hops. Flavor is a well-balanced mix of good old cara munich malts and actually tasteable saaz hops. Though they certainly do not go out of their way to impart a lot of hop flavor, it is there and adds a balance and light crispness. Well done on all levels, outstanding on none.

Aug 31, 2004 On tap at Rock Bottom King of Prussia. Poured a light yellow with a small white head (a tad bit darker than their Light Lager). Slightly sweet smelling and tasting. Other than that, nothing else.

May 16, 2004 Clear copper body with a thin, white head. Strong German hop aroma that is just strong and fresh and bitter. The body is clean and smooth. Grainy malts start out the flavor profile but are quickly replaced by the strong, clean hop character. A well crafted, hoppy lager that was pleasant and refreshing.

May 15, 2004 Draught: red copper, in a tall glass. Pleasant, fresh hop aroma, wrapped in clean malty blanket. A very good malt presence with the good load of hops and though not outstanding a well crafted, drinkable and tasty lager.

May 1, 2004 Updated: Jul 23, 2008Re-rated from full glass. Now that I’ve had it served to me by the bartender who know a bit more than the waitron, I’ve learned it’s actually a Dortmunder. The color had caught me off guard, it’s still a Märzen type of copper. The fuller sample also let me taste a bigger load of hops than in most German beers (but still a German hop profile). Hops nicely counterbalance the lager "dryness" that keeps this from tasting like another pale ale.
Draft sampler. I’m categorizing this as a Märzen since the color and taste profile are closer to that than a pilsener. Definitely orange in color like an Oktoberfest, almost caramel roast with a nice smell to match. I told my neophyte beer buddy, "This is what your normal beer might taste like if they didn’t make it with rice and corn."
