Bright amber with a small off white head. Very faint malt aroma. Sweet tasting, gentle, with a grainy, biscuity background and a slight bitter finish. This made very little early impression, but I grew to like it. And the aroma developed nicely too. 17thfloor (1485), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Clear, darker medium brown with medium off-white pancake like head. Aroma is fairly spicy and pine hops with distinctive light lager nose as well and fairly strong malt. Nutty flavor with darker malts and spicy/piney hops, yeast, refreshing, very nice. Medium creamy body. A very nice beer, that is very drinkable, makes me want to go back to Germany.

Aroma is "lagerish", very nondescript. Flavor is toasty, caramel, biscuity and a touch of butteryness (is that a word?). This would be a good fall brew...football, raking leaves, that sort of thing. jasonp (1510), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
