A decent brew for what it is: a light lager. Though I could probably get the same or better flavor from the megabreweries. Pour was a pale yellow with short-lived white head. Aroma was actually decent; slightly malty along with the corny lagery smells, and the flavor was disappointing based on the aroma.

decent aroma with a light color. light in flavor, but malty flavor and a hint of honey.

Bottle. Light malt aroma. Golden with a small very quickly dissipating white head. Malt flavor with a very light hop bitterness. Light carbonated body.

Pours a light pale yellow with white head. Taste it lightly sweet with a crisp finish. Brewpub version of coots light.

Tap. Pours clear yellow with thin, fizzy white head; short retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is bread malt, straw, and light fruit. Flavor is nearly all malt, faint grassy hops, and light fruit esters; crisp, refreshing finish. Light body, medium carbonation, and low warmth.

Bottle. Sour milk malt and hay aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head and light effervescence. Slightly sweet creamy barley malt flavor with a lightly bitter hay hops finish. Nice body. Great beer.

12oz bottle, solid lager here. Color is golden throughout, head is visable and forms a solid ring around the glass with an island hannging out in the middle. Taste is a bit hoppy, a bit pale, and a very easy. A gem for a moderate drinker. Easy on the pallate this brew can flow through mountains. I especially enjoyed the abundant golden color whihc prospered vivantally within the brew. Fresh and enjoyable, this is a beer for the minds.

Bottle. Pours a clear fizzy yellow with some head. Grassy aroma typical of lager. Taste is very thin and light.

6 oz sampler on tap at their Camp Hill brew pub. Light aroma of grains, corn, and a drop of citrus hops Appearance: Pours a clear, light golden color with almost no head Grainy flavor, light hops.Palate- light body, but it does have a crisp mouthfeel. I was surprised by this offereing. Of their 8 beer sampler that day _ I liked this the most - and I am not big on most lagers. I would say that this is better than the much heralded Yuengling Lager.
