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.

Tap at Barcade: Amber pour (surprise) with a fading off white film. The aroma is quite buttery- lots of diacetyl with a caramelized bready note. Average carbonation to the light body- the flavor is buttery as well. Some caramelized biscuit qualities are detectable underneath the diacetyl and buttered popcorn flavors. Has a grassy finish. Might be decent minus the diacetyl.

Killer suprising aroma of carmel and maybe some cheaper chocolate(?). Just keep smelling until it totally evaporates. then open another one for drinking purposes. Came on kinda hoppy - too hoppy for what i expected and sweet - tropical or something - but really good no the less. didnt have a glass, so it was right out of the bottle - which is too bad. Some one ship this stuff to Canada for me.

A nice bright flavor. Sweet with a dry, hoppy finish. Good amber/orange color. Very consistant. Fresh nose.

From the bottle, pours clear reddish orange with a thin white head. Aroma is corny in nature, that again is reminiscent of a meh kinda golden ale produced by local brewpubs to satisfy the demands of less-than-beer-snob patrons. Without much expectation, the taste isn’t awful, but certainly nothing to write home about. Malty, for sure, thicker than most, but without the flavor profile ot balance it out. Average at best. Don’t go out of your way to rate this one.

Pours an amber orange color with plenty of head and a lace to follow. The aroma is very malty with a little bit of odd vegetable character. This tastes much better than it smells. Flavor of bright fruity malt, the beer is largely dry with a good bitter hop balance, this is far hoppier than I expected it to be. There are some odd tea flavors, but nothing awful.
