Formerly brewed at Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Premium Lager
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle. From Sampler pack. Head pours mall and light brown with a nose of light malt and a little toasted. Also scents of dough, smoke, and tobacco. Medium body with a mineral taste and a lively carbonation that finishes with a light astringency. Taste is nice with a sweetness and bitterness that is well balanced. First taste is great with a malt sweetness that finishes long and slightly bitter. Pretty damn good.

Bottled on 8-31-04(from a sampler 12pk) Nice bready,malty aroma with some sweet overtones caramel,banana,and some slightly spicy hops.Very nice balanced flavor.The mouth is a nice medium silk,with a nice spritzy bite.I think they ought to put this out in 6 er’s,but what are ya gonna do? Almost the right amount of everything(a tad too sweet).This is more a less an Oktoberfest IMHO.

Pours a cloudy crimson amber with a quickly dissapating head. Aroma is of rich malt and some hops. Taste is sweet and malty with plenty of caramel, dark fruit and candy apples. Has an apple cider feel to it. Slightly sour finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Sweetness becomes cloying towards the end. Overall, not bad.

Tap version -- Deep brownish amber with ample off-white head this brew was ultra malty with a strong caramel presence. Complex maltiness throughout with well balanced hop character. Smooth mouthfeel with malty, but not overly sweet finish. Knocked the Troegenator Double Bock out of my favorite slot for this brewery. Excellent!

Lightly hazed amber color witha smallish beige head. Caramel malt and mild perfume hops in the aroma. Hearty thick malt flavors of dry caramel and rye. Light acidic finish. Long deep malt linger. I envision this is what a lager in pre-pro days was like.

A hearty lager. Sweeter than I expected, but very nice. Pours an amber gold with a nice temporary head. Still trying to figure out why it has such a nice well-rounded presentation yet seems to taste slightly off at times. Guess I’ll have to do more research!

Darkened orange body with a light haze. Frothy, slightly rocky, off-white foam. Earthy hop aroma infused with honey and sweet, bready malts. Underlying notes of glazed dates and melon. Soft, fluffy carbonation. Fairly grainy body. First sip is multilayered with sweet malts. Tasty medley of minerals and slick fruitiness provide a nice counterpoint to the fat malt base. Very low hop presence other than some mild leafiness and gentle spice. Some husky pale malts accentuate the toffee and roasted malt flavors. Subtle notes of plum and unsweetened chocolate assist the thickly malted finish. Long afterthoughts of roasted malts, alcohol-soaked bread, and whispers of juicy tropical fruit. Exquisitely balanced and flavorful.

Pours amberish. Aroma of malt, hops, some honey. Tastes malty, with some hops, and caramel sweetness in the finish.
