Commercial Description:
A delicate balance of toasted malt and fresh hops give this medium-bodied German style lager an intriguing complex flavor. A creamy head, deep golden color and an impressive hop bouquet make this a very special beer.

A smooth amber, with a nose of honey and light hops, and a palate that delivers on the honey backstopped by citrusyhops and a light creaminess. Not very complex, but a smooth refreshing brew.

Pours a beautiful, brilliant clear amber color with a medium to big and frothy white head. It stays for a while leaving a good film. Aroma is nice, intense and fruity. It has notes of sweet overripe citric fruits, apples, tuna fruit, mellon accompanied by touches of citrusy hops giving hints of orange and mandarines. Flavor is nice, sweet with a fruity beginning and a bittersweet end. Notes of peaches, apricots, mellon, cantaloupe, oranges and apples. Great. Medium body, medium carbonation. Texture is oily, long fruity finish. A fantastic Vienna and another great lager from Wisconsin.

(Bottle) Pours a light amber color with little head. Toasted malts and caramel in the taste. Rather light body. Well balanced, with some mild hops rounding out the taste. Could have had a heavier body, otherwise not too bad.

This beer really was thin and watery. It poured a clear amber hue, with barely any head. It looked almost flat. Its aroma was sweet with some caramel notes balanced out by a slight yeast quality. Flavor was similar and light; carbonation was adequate.

12 oz bottle via Malt of Earth Beer Club. Pours a clear amber with a nice beige head. Nose is mostly lager yeast and malt. Actually tastes better than i was expecting, and there are some earthy/grassy hops that kick in nicely in the finish, I would almsot swear i taste some roasted grains in there as well..although the description says toasted... Body is medium and carbonation is just right. A nice summer beer.

Pour is a nice copper color with a huge white head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt wih some breadyness in there. Flavor is about the same but less outstanding. A little doughy and bitter with a slight caramel malts. Still this is a pretty good beer for sipping.
