Mar 28, 2009 Has a light amber pour with a white head, malt and bread aromas with some sweetness on the nose, I can smell the hallertau hops to, the same hops that are in the SA Imperial Pilsner just not as pronounced, nice malt flavors and leaves a dry finish, nice lager.

Mar 27, 2009 Pours a nice gold with a small head. Aroma has a nice balance of malts and hops. I liked the presence of hops in the taste; it is something I have not seen much of in lagers. Good balance, good beer.

Mar 26, 2009 Color is yellow with a hint of amber. Taste is of sweet caramel malts. Mouthfeel is smooth. One of my favorite lager style beers. You can tell that the recipe takes the time to make the hops well balanced with the malts.

Mar 24, 2009 Pours a nice gold color with a quickly dissipating finger of head. Aroma is slightly sweet and malty with a hint of hops. Flavor is clean and slightly hoppy, reminded me slightly of a good pilsner with a bit more body. Very well-rounded.

Mar 24, 2009 A wonderful aroma of rich hops with a sweetness to it. The full bodied beer gives a satisfaction that only the best lagers give. This is a great beer. Only downside is a slight after taste of bitter malty dryness.

Mar 23, 2009 On tap at a local establishment, was amber with a small head. The aroma was slightly hoppy, I would say it was a nice combination of hops and malt, nothing crazy but a decent aroma. The flavor was clean and just slightly hoppy, no overpowering bitterness. The hops are fairly clean, lightly piney or earthy/grassy. Everything was highly in balance and the beer was very clean. I could drink this beer all day, very well brewed.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle: I must have had this beer hundreds of times, but it keeps getting better everytime. Pours an amber color with a moderate white head. Very unique hops and malts creates an excellent character and taste. A definite session brew for ages to come.

Mar 11, 2009 Pours a nice coppery orange colour with a small tan head. Aroma is vey malty. Caramel, orange, pine and vanilla on the nose. Tastes very malty as well, with caramel, orange, lemon, pine, resin, grass, and hay. Palate is very nice, just enough to keep it from being cloying. Compulsively drinkable. I remember a few years back I thought this was just awful... Now looking back the crap I was drinking then was awful!
