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.

16 oz. bottle from daknole. Thanks Dakine! Pours a golden red color with a one finger head, moderate retention and low lacing. Very strong toasted malt aroma with some light floral hop notes. Taste is toasted malts, grain, caramel and cinnamon-like spices. Almost like a pumpkin spice ale. Medium bodied with thin spots here and there.

Great rich caramel aroma with very light baking spices. Flavor is reminiscent of roasted vegetables with a nice hop finish.

Brought back from Milwaukee by my friend Nick Wight...thanks. Pours a clear golden/amber color with a very small head. Aroma is extremely grainy, crackers. I smell corn meal. Flavor is malty and some corn with some good hop balance. A very interesting and tasty beer. Crisp and clean mouthfeel.

SIxteen ounce bottle from Biggs in Mason. Appealing sweet and spicy aroma, big off-white head with minimal lacing, medium to dark amber/red color, nice hoppy/spicy flavor with enoug malt sweetness to keep things balanced. This was a good choice for the Labor Day weekend cookout I attended and a good hot weather brew: not heavy but with anough flavor and character to make things interesting. This was the first Sprecher brew I’ve had and I look forward to trying others

Good drinkable brew that has a clean taste and is quite enjoyable. Not as lovely as some of their other beers.

Bottle. Goodbar Beer Club. Nose is honey & hot dogs w. mustyness. Odd to say the least. Flavor is caramel , some noble hop, toffee. Somewhat cloying with a bunch of honey in the finish.
