This was a enjoyable lager. Not too thick or heavy bodies but just enough to stick to your palate on the finish. Color was amazing, deep gold and looked alot sweeter than it tasted.

Golden yellow with no head. Aroma of mild sweet malt and grassy hops. Taste of sweet malt with mild hops and a semi-dry finish. Eh, premium lagers aren’t my thing.

sampler @ portsmouth brewery - clear amber with no head; very mild aromas of stale malts; drinks crisp, but not too much in flavor here either; finishes with a little bitterness

12 oz bottle. Nice clean lager. Nice aroma hops. Medium amount of bittering hops. No off flavors. Just a solid lager. Good beer. As a homebrewer, I can appreciate the difficulty of brewing a good, clean lager.

On tap at Portsmouth Brewery. Served in pint glass golden yellow in color with a white head. Aroma was malty with grassy hops. Flavor was surprisingly fresh a slight malt in hte front followed by a spicy hoppiness.

Dull gold color, with large white head. Medium body and carbonation. Malty and clean with a dry, spicy finish.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate white head that disappears after the first two sips and left no lace. Mild aroma of malt along with some grassy hops. The flavor is again mild malt up front with some hops bitterness at the finish. Hoppier than the typical lager, which is a plus, but not as smooth as some of the better lagers. An ok beer, but probably not something I’d come back to.
