Commercial Description:
A light bodied, crisp Munich Helles Lager with a refreshing balance of delicate maltiness and a tangy hop flavor. Straw colored and refreshing, it goes well with our Bier Garden Pretzel or any of our salads.

On tap at Rock Bottom Yorktown. Rock Bottom Yorktown Line Drive Light is a clear, light yellow color with a very airy off-white head. The flavor and aroma are of corn adjuncts. This is not an impressive beer, but I would not mind drinking this in a large quantity.

On tap at RB – Yorktown. Poured clear, bright, almost watery golden with a dusting of white head. The aroma was very light with sweet wheat and pale malts along with a little cardboard…OK, but hard to get much out of it. The flavor was quite sweet with pale malts representin’.. some barley and faint floral bitterness in there as well.. left a sweet wheaty finish. Very light-bodied on the palate, but not watery for the most part.. I enjoyed the bone-dry finish. Overall not so good.

Mug Club mug. A big enough mug lets any beer’s color get denser and more appealing. In the Mug Club, this has a golden straw color, with a light head. A touch of apple and sour cherry at first sniff. Taste has clean pale malts, with a light but attention-getting German hop. Slight fruitiness suggests a warm ferment or keg. Good example of this style.
