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.

Mar. 2007 - Golden yellow pour, clear with a slight haze, nice head and lacing. Aroma was grassy hops and butter. Flavor was sweet buttery cheesey flavor, like cheese left out a bit too long, with a grassy hop bitter finish. Rich full flavor and mouthfeel. Pretty good.

12 oz. bottle. Aroma is full of sweet malt, yeast, and mild bittering hops - nothing too characteristic. Pours golden with a moderate finger worth of white crown with low retention and lacing. Flavour is fairly balanced between biscuit and malt, and hops. Palate is medium-bodied, moderately carbonated with a rather bitter and yeasty finish. Overall a decent beer but nothing too characteristic. Tastes almost like it smells and although it might be close to style, it’s still my least favourite out of the LongShot pack.

The weakest of the three beers this year, but that does not mean it is a bad beer. Bitter and sour taste; a refreshing beer that would be better served in summer. But who can wait that long?

Very slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice dense off-white coloured head. Very nice looking beer! Aroma of fresh malt, lemons, yeast, pears and a bit of fresh hops - really nice as well! Medium-bodied; Strong malt backbone - more than you’d expect, plus a potent hop flavour up front shows well. Aftertaste is oddly chewy, with yeast and wheat more noticeable than anything else. Sweetness lingers on the palate - but not overpowering. Overall, a decent beer - I think I liked this better than most, but there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with this offering. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from the six-pack sampler, drunk on 18-Dec-07.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is light-malt, grain, secondary citrus/herbal hops. Taste is light-malt, grain, secondary citrus/herbal/spicy hops. OK carbonation. Slight syrupy yet semi-dry mouth feel.

Copying from my tasting notes. Bottle. Golden pour with small head. Malty aroma. Nice taste that finished well. Not bad

Courtesy of Quake1028. It pours a clear deep gold or pale copper with thin off white head. The aroma is malty, pale malts and grains. The flavor is nice with pale to grainy malts and some malt sweetness. Very nice flavor mixture, some Munich too maybe. It seems a little too sweet as the taste moves forward but the grainy and pale malt flavors even things out.
