The other ratings suggest numerous other styles and they're right in a way - this doesn't fit neatly into the established lager pantheon. But that's one of the things I like about this beer. It is more of an unfiltered country lager - landbier or zwickelbier. I didn't really pick up on the high alcohol content. Hazy bronze colour; malty, crusty aroma. Malty, slightly buttery body, a little hop. Herbal finish. Interesting beer, stylistically vague in the Franconian tradition.

(22oz bottle) Cloudy copper body topped by small beige head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, bread/cereal, lime, some uric acid. Taste is medium sweet, bread, some lime, light alcohol. Medium body, light stickiness.

Poured a medium and hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head Aromas of citrus, yeast and caramel. Tastes of pears, caramel and hops. A little sourish tastes.

Draft, Redbones. Hazy light orange. Shy off-white head. Gentle earthy malts combining with a deep earthy munich/vienna malts profile blending in with subtle grassy and floral hops. Bready, substantial balance. Light palate, very crisp and drinkable. Subdued german hops, truly growing on you with a rocky dryness. Wild in nature, fieldish, mature and fruity. Good!

Bottle... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Cloudy peach-colored lager with a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. Excellent retention. The nose is a bit Flemish with a tangy bite of lemon. Not real familiar with this style so maybe the bottle’s off or maybe not. Either way, I enjoy acidity in just about everything so no complaint here. Malty, tangy flavor with mild sweetness and moderate acidity providing a funky sort of balance. Full-bodied with light carbonation. Fruity, lactic finish. Strange brew... again, it may be an off bottle. Kudos to kenb for the bomber!

Tap@Siletz Brewpub. Huge hit of bruised apple to start, some pear aswell. Citric hops finish, a tad bit dull after there other beers, some alcohol showing at the end.
