Commercial Description:
Bruce describes his classic German-style lager as "pale gold in color with a blend of Pilsner maltiness and a mild hops aroma. The bitterness is just enough to balance the taste of the malt." Bruce is a former music teacher who began homebrewing 13 years ago when his wife gave him a kit for Christmas. He has since become an accomplished homebrewer and shares his knowledge and passion for beer by teaching classes in homebrewing and beer appreciation.

Pale golden pour, fast fading white head. Nose is perfume and a little bit of biscuity maly underneath. Thin, watery mouthfeel. Not much going on in the flavor - a bit floral.

Pours a two finger white head that fades to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy/bready nose. Flavor is balanced, some hoppiness, slight dry bitter finish. $7.49 6-pak, 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

12 oz. brown, longneck bottle. From the six-pack of Longshot beers. Poured out a light golden yellow color, with a minimal white head. Left a decent lacing on the side of the glass though. Sweet malts greet the nose, followed by that typical lager yeast funkiness. Flavors are of sweet malts, well balanced by the bitterness of the hops. Decent body, rich mouthfeel. Almost chewy in texture. Decent take on the style overall. This is one hard beer to homebrew, let me tell you.

Bottle. Family Liquors just got the LongShot sixpacks in today, so I can pop a nice fresh German style lager for once. This has a respectable noble hop nose. In a mug, it kicks up a big fluffy head that sinks to a lacy coating in a few minute. Golden pils color, the way we think remember Grandpa’s beers looking. Toasty pils malt taste is in fact nicely counterpointed by, I’m guessing, Saaz hops. Actually somewhat alcoholic aftertaste. It is a darn nice lager from a fresh bottle.

Poured a dark golden color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of honey, toffee, doughy malts, light citrus, and floral hops. Taste of more doughiness, with toffee, lemon, citrus, and a lightly bitter, dry, finish.

First rate for the style. Poured a very clear gold, not much head. Aroma of honey, bread and caramel. Taste was very much similar with a slight hop presence; a pretty good mouth feel, mediumish body. A pretty good blend of flavors, maybe a slight too much grainy flavor. But not too detracting. This style is new, so I don’t want to talk out of my ass too much. Enjoyable, but not fantastic.

Clear gold appearance with medium size white head and good lacing. Pleasant, although somewhat muted, toasted malt aroma with a hint of honey. Sweet malt taste, grainy, a touch of butterscotch, mild fruitiness. Moderately hopped, medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel.

Small head with a dark golden color. Almost no aroma. The flavor is not bad but does not have the balance that there should be in a dortmunder.
