Pour is a dull gold with almost no head at all. Aroma is some sweet malts and nothing else. Flavor is again a slight malt with nothing really else going for it. Pretty bland and blah.

NIce golden color. Malty nose with a little bitter hoppy note. Taste is about the same, but the finish isn’t crisp, just kinda sticks around and gets stale.

12oz from a beer club. Nice rich color, gold bordering on bronze, with lively carbonation. Not much in the way of a nose to this one, but the body is fairly substantial. Very clean malts on this one, minimally present in fact. Some hops are there just a bit, but not quite as sharp or zesty as I want from a nice lager. Pretty average, especially for this kickass brewer.

Pours a copper color with a thick, well formed head. Aroma is dominated by malts, as is the flavor, with some hops coming through in the end. Very well balanced, great during a hot summer day.

A golden yellow lager that is slightly clouldy in apperance. Mild aroma. first taste was hoppy to me but then it finished smoother than I expected. Good summer beer.

Medium yellow body. The aroma is fresh cut potatoes and some glazed donuts. The taste is light with some sweet character like more of the donuts. There is also a little bit of vagetable to balance this out. A decent brew, but pretty light in color and flavor for the style.

Pale golden colour, quite cloudy. Nice fresh bready pale malt aroma. Flavour is lightly honeyish, sweet and a little bit toasty. Soft floral/spicy hoppiness with a lingering bready hop flavour. This is a great session beer.
