The beer shows an attractive head and lace. The beer is a bit darker than I was expecting for a Bavarian style lager. I was expecting the color to be more along the lines of a helles. The nose is fresh, clean, and hoppy. I find the palate to be smooth, clean, and a little bit smoky. The beer finishes nice and spicy. This is a hard beer to categorize, it is IMO neither a helles nor a marzen, but nonetheless an ok beer. VAYankee (248), Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 17, 2003 Lighter brown color with offwhite head. The aroma is a combination both sweet and sour maltiness. The flavor is characterized by mild sweetness. Finishes with a touch of smokiness. Not as thin most american lagers.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 15, 2003 ale tasting to me, but maybe i don't know what this style of lager should taste like. a nice way to trick normal drinkers into having something with complexity. reminds me of an ale, some sort of taste i can't put my finger on. nice on in the variety pack.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 18, 2003 The aroma was a nice malty smell, and the taste was very interesting. Nice sweet malt flavor, with an odd kind of smokey tinge to it. Very good and a definately one I'll have again. Braudog (3770), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2003 Dark caramel with a nutty aroma. The flavor is heavily toffee, with a hint of walnuts or almonds and a proud smoky finish, hinting at a Bamberg-style Rauchbier without the overwhelming character of a burned down house. Robust flavors, but thin consistency. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 14, 2003 Sort of sourish, in a citrusy way, and lightly bitter. Quite nice. Nothing like a Kellerbier, in my opinion. Cobra (1066), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 4, 2003 This is one great brew from Tröegs. It pours out a deep, reddish orange color, with a healthy head on top. The head lasts until
the bottom of the glass. It has just the right amount of hops, not too sweet, not too bitter. The malty aromas & flavors are just
delicious. It goes down smoothly, with a residual sweetness on the palate. The only complaint I have about this beer is it's hard
to find in my area. Other than that, I think it's a winner. Rib Eye (143), USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 29, 2003 Troegs accomplishes the amazing feat of brewing quintessential examples of every style they try. This Lager has an intersting malty profile with a slightly sticky sweet profile. Not my fave style or fave brew from Troegs, but really, really well done and a fresh take on the style. Like all Troegs it's not pasteurized so the clean, fresh, bready flavors really shine through.
