Thanks Stfun! Pours a gold color with a small head. Malty aroma with a hint of light hops. Flavor is light and very crisp. Great with food and really, really sessionable. Hops and malt are in harmony in this one. MMM.

9/28/09 notes: poured at 2009 GABF Thursday. Pours gold, with average lacing, color and head. Flavor is mild, with pale malt and a soft floral quality. Otherwise not too much going on here, which is both good and bad. I just couldn’t get into Gorsch, perhaps a small pour just doesn’t do a beer designed to be sessioned in large quantity justice.

aroma is of lightly sweetened barley malt. appearance is nearly translucent yellow. flavor is of a forefront bitterness that is quite subtle. it fades then returns following lightly chewy, sweet malt. perfect balance is struck in a beer that hits you like a feather and is easy to miss.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a pint glass. This has a hazy yellow color with a thin white head. It has a crisp refreshing taste with earthy notes. A good session for the style.

Light golden yellow pour with white head. Aroma of malt and slightly toated bisquits.Crisp tasting lager- toasted malt, slightly sweet, nice hop balance with malts. Nice aftertaste, good lager.

22oz bottle, slight hazy honey gold hue, with a thick white head, sweet toastey malt, bready dough nose, with some crunchy cereal accents, with a wet hay note, and faint citrusy floral hop aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet honeyed crystal, pale, toasty malt, grainy raw breadiness character, with some crunched cerealm buttery flavors, with a hint of flowery hop grassiness, leading towards a malty, honeyish finish.

Bottle. Poured a pale yellow with a bit of haze and a thin white head. Aroma was full of malts and yeast, a bit musty with a touch of honey. Taste was full of yeast and malts as well with a hint of hops. Flavor was a bit underwhelming, but at the same time that made it very drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of Allstar at Immy’s Backyard Throwdown. Pours clear golden in color with white head. Aroma honey, malt and hops. Taste malty lemon and honey wtih dry finish.
