Pours up a light orange-yellow with a perfect white head. Very attractive beer. Aroma is pretty light, slight alcohol, noble, and... flavor is quite solid. Nothing’s really sticking out to me as a strong flavor, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good. I would say it’s a nice balance of many different flavors.

extremely carbonated, almost like seltzer water. just a little darker than budweiser with absolutely no head. typical lager taste, with a little extra hoppiness thrown in. nothing special...very sessionable.

Poured from the bottle a crystal clear amber to orange. Head was minimal and creamy white. The aroma is dominated by malts with notes of bread and cereal and a faint hint of herbal hop. Malty sweetness is balanced with bitterness and finishes with a pleasantly salty aftertaste. The crispy palate was a bit thin for me for the style. Overall, I was quite pleased.

Pours a clear golden color with a short white head that dissipates and gathers thinly around the edges. German malt aroma, some toasted malt presence. Light-medium bodied, medium carbonation, round mouth-feel, and a lasting finish. Balanced toward the malt, but finishes dry. Wonderful color and aroma. Good flavor.

Pours a crystal, amber color. Aroma is sweet and a bit bready/yeasty. Flavor is primarily toasted malt and honey. Smooth and nicely drinkable, making it solid but unspectacular.

I was a little upset with this from Bell, I expected more. It was alright, smooth and malty, I could drink quite a few but lacked flavor.

a beautiful looking brew, pours copper hue with a thick white head. the aroma is caramel and straw. the flavor is a mix of munich malt and sweet caramel, well balanced.

Botlte. Pours amber with a white head. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, sticky hops.. meh.
