Commercial Description:
Continental style lager enjoyed throughout Europe. Visions of the Liter Stein-laden "Bier Fraus" bespeak the drinkability of this smoothest and most quaffable of lager beers. Less hoppy than Pilsner and very drinkable. Deep straw color. Balanced with Bavarian hops. Aged a full 6 weeks at 32°F.

On tap at the brewery. This brewery is really not that bad for the weaker beers. I thought that this one was pretty good. Light hop flavor and aroma. Pretty good.

Thanks xnoxhatex for sharing this one. The body was dark gold with a white head. I smelled fresh bread, pears and peanuts. The taste was light construction paper with some earthy hints.

12oz bottle from trade. Clear light yellow with small creamy white head. A little light corny, dry malt. A light noble hop flavor with dry malt corn. Medium body with a little carbonation. Perfect to style, but not all that good at the same time.

Bottle via decaturstevo. Golden color. Smell of hops, citrus, lemon zest and malt. Taste of light hops, malt, lemon and yeast. Very light.
