Golden straw colour. Decent malty aroma. Short talk with a staff member at the brewery let me discover this is actually fermented as an ale. Great beer for the price to bad you can only get it at the brewery.

A pale yellow lager with a thin bubbled white head. Lightly lemony aroma, with loight sulfuric notes, grassy. In mouth, a rather biscuitty malt with light chalky notes, a bit of butter, but rather pleasant. Bottle from ProbstK.

Bottle-Pours sparkling gold with a one finger white head. Not much lace. Aromas are faintly vegetal with a suprisingly good amount of malt, faint hops, grass. Taste is slightly sweet, herbal/hay, bread. Pretty good up until the buttery finish. At least it finished quick. Thanks J to tha Iz-on!

Soon to be renamed "Nickel Buck" and aimed at the buck-a-beer niche....so says John the owner...if this is buck-a-beer, gimme a case or two. This is all malt, small batch cottage crafted pale lager with a medium body and a solid malt spine....this should sweep the buck-a-beer niche for taste and quality...pours a soft gold color with a fluffy 3 finger cap that lasts and laces the glass....Aromas of sweet biscuit dough, light fruity esters and some cedar hops. Front side is light and ciderythen the malts kick in and the finish is mellow, fruity with a large whacking biscuit after taste...best dollar beer out there!

Pale yellow, small fluffy white head fades quickly. Sweet floral honey aroma. Slight butter notes. Flavour is on the sweet side, with just a touch of bitterness. Floral honey sweetness, mild herbal notes, buttercup. Average palate. meh.
