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 500 ml
Appearance: neat, rich with full depth color of amber-gold. Fine creamy (on thin side) head was presented.
Nose :Strong yet balanced aroma , front of green hops with golden malts. Caramel cookie dough with citrus.
Flavor/Palate : Sadly I was its body to be shallow , empty shell of malt with faint hop touch that sat on lips. Dusty, forgettable ending with short episode of alcohol. Average at best.

Bottle. A nice deep orange hue. An enjoyable beer. One to try if you live in Wisconsin and want to drink locally brewed beer.

16 oz. bottle - Poured dark amber color with very small head that quickly faded. Nice hop aroma. Flavor is a little metallic with hop bitterness on tongue. A heavier mouthfeel makes this beer quite enjoyable. This brew also had a fruity plumb aftertaste.

A bright orange/amber in color with a thin head. Aroma of light citrus hops and perhaps some oranges. I guess it was a tad medicinal. The flavor had a clean hop bitterness and a bit of butter and semi-sweet medium colored malt. The malt flavor was hard to pinpoint for me. Finishes clean. It is a bit basic, but pleasant.

1-2-08 bottle.
Very thick brownish amber color. Quite murky and thick with visible sediment. Smell is malty and slightly doughy and sour, funky but not horrible. Taste is highly medicinal and difficult to swallow. Not the worst thing ever - but it seems to just suck the moisture out of the mouth. Has a bad medicinal aftertaste as well.

Cloudy honey colored pour with short lived head. Smell is kind of a funky sweet malt. Not particularly inviting and perhaps on its way downhill. Taste is same funky off-flavored malt. Kind of like a pint of gauzy butterscotch goodness. I can’t get past the smell enough to take more than a couple sips of this, but I can see how some might like it...

A very aromatic beer. The aromas of cinnamon, apples, and caramel jump out. Flavor is spicy and fruity with a nice hop background. Some carbonation might help the palate. Alcohol seems higher than 5% and provides a nice warming effect. An interesting and well crafted beer.
