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.

Bottle. Pours a deep gold with almost no head. Aroma was sweet, hoppy, honey and apricots (?). Taste was watered down with some honey. A thin weak brew.

On tap at Mahars. Pours amber of course with a beautiful thick head. Aroma is weak but sweet. Flavor was hoppy surprisingly, with a very smooth clean finish.

Amber with thin white head. Caramel and sweet malts in the aroma, though not too strong. Mild caramel taste. Kind a watery, ok at best.

A sparkling dark copper pour with a lasting, thick, off white head and lots of spotty lacing. Grassy aroma with a touch of caramel. Light on the palate with a pleasant bitterness and clean finish. Cereal and caramel flavors with a fresh, bitter, grassy taste. Well balanced and drinks with great ease. A nice Vienna Lager, well played.

Bottle. Medium amber color, smallish whitish head, DMS and German hops in the nose. Mildly bitter, somewhat malty, not my thing.

On tap at the brewery. Orange color with medium, creamy off-white head. Aroma is caramel and light citrus hops, a little grainy as well. Grainy malt and and hops combine to become a lackluster flavor with only some sweet caramel malt to help redeem it. Thin body and well carbonated. Meh.

Pours bright copper-orange with a moderate head. The aroma is sweet, with roasted malt. There’s a hint of fruit. The taste is sweet malt with some graininess. A small bit of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is thin and over-carbonated.

Very heavy. Dark. Nice hops. Strong character. 16 oz. is too much for quick beer though. I enjoyed the brilliant color and clarity. All in all, a a very good amber.
