Commercial Description:
A German Helles (pronounced Hell-es) Lager – is brewed with water from the Eastman Springs. Steve and Wally hauled water from the famed Silver Queen Spring to the brewery earlier this summer to make the batch. Last year Steve met with the Eastman family to determine what style of beer would best capture the character of Colonel Eastman. The style they chose was a German Helles Lager. The Livery’s Silver Queen is brewed with 100% spring water from the historic Eastman Springs, located here in Benton Harbor at Mary’s City of David . North American malts and North American hops blend to create a truly drinkable light lager.

<b>Objectively speaking:</b> A considerably underrated lager that goes well beyond the ordinary. <br /> <b>I like:</b> One of the freshest tasting beer I’ve ever had. Hazy golden topped by a frothy white head. Superbly refreshing grassy, hoppy lager with exquisite toasty malts, crunchy, you’d chew on those malts until you’ve had a meal out of them. Bready &#40;needless to say again extremely fresh bread&#41;, gently tart &#40;seems to be a house character, but it totally fits as it just exposes its drinkability farther&#41;. Muscled maltiness for a lager, but just plain fresh, bright and poundable. <br /> <b>I dislike:</b> I’ll repeat it again, The Livery is probably the single brewpub where I’ve disagreed the most with my fellow ratebeerians’ scores.

On tap at the brewery. This clear golden ale poured with a nice off-white head. The flavor is sort of sweet and sour and a bit skunky - it must be from that City of David water.

Draft &#64; Livery. Pours an orange-tinged honey color; white head with patchy lacing. Solid amounts of sweet malts, apples, and light sugar in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: chewy apples, sugar, and some basic dried fruits; slightly underhopped and sweet compared to my basic knowledge of a helles, but solidly drinkable and tasty; a touch on the sweet side. Medium finish: sweet sugar, apples, and some toastiness; ends a touch on the sweet side overall.

Tap: Clean golden hue wth a small head and good lace. The aroma has notes of biscuity and buttery vapours, grains and mineral, chalky and earthy. The taste is sweet and veggie with an apple twang, dry chalky finish. The mouth feel is soft and smooth. Sorry guys not one of the better efforts from The Livery.
