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.

Toasted, woody, slightly vegetable aroma with some dry caramel. Brownish-gold beer with a thin beady head which fades quickly. Good griffin emblem. Nice pint, this. Well-bittered, light caramel, crackery. Slick mouthfeel, crisp, woody break at the finish. Bittering clings just a bit too long. This is my second Sprecher’s and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Better when it warms. Ale in the Mail selection, June 2007.

Clear amber. Large spongey tan head settles to about .5cm. Sweet, biscuity caramel malt and floral noble hops. Simple but good. Finishes crisp. Medium/light body, balanced carbonation. Easy drinking.

Just got it as I am now in the beer of the month club. Pour is amber with a nice head. Caramel malt flavor. Very refreshing!

generic bottled amber, w/ a funky plate linger. Purely mediocrity. Odd stale malt, Ehh.

Pour is a light amber with minimal head. Aroma is mild caramel sweetness. Flavor is mild sweetness. A light caramel flavor with just a touch of toastiness that can be detected when its cold, but as it warms the caramel is the only thing noticeable.

Enjoyed on tap at Miller Park while enjoying a 4-3 Brewers win over the Marlins last night. Red/orange color, nice tan/white head. Smells nice and grassy, not just grass but the smell of a wildgrass meadow on a breezy day. Flavor of caramel malts, a slight spiciness. As the description states, a nicely balanced, easy-drinking beer by Sprecher.

Bottle. I had this many times in college, though never rated. A friend had this at a BBQ over the weekend, and I was happy to find out I still love it after many years and new beers. Pour is amber, with a medium white head that goes quite quickly. Aroma is mostly malt and a bit of hop. Taste is a nice belnd of malt backbone and hop flavoring. A nice carbonation makes this very refreshing. Wish I could get it in MO/KS!

a very solid brew. i had it in the bottle so i can’t comment on the apperance of the actual beer, but i love the 16oz bottle. It has a nice mouthfeel with a slight carbonation, i still prefer there black bavarian, but this was good as well.
