COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Golden in color, with a moderately full body, Berghoff is a well-rounded beer. The aroma is faintly fruity, with a quick, clean finish, and lightly lingering bitterness. Berghoff Lager is made with Brewer’s Two-Row Malt, Carapils Malt, Caramel Malt and domestic hops.

Gift from my Wisconsin hook up. Thanks Jamie. Again not a horrible brewery but nothing that stands out for me. The pour was nice. A mild aroma of hop and skunk. A mild spicy finish.

Berghoff Prairie Lager. 12oz twist-off bottle. Clear golden yellow. Look like the open prairies with its amber waves of grain. Aroma of lemon, banana peels, and straw. Sharp hop bitterness, crisp malt. Drink pretty good for a Pale Lager.

markas101 (1503) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - JUL 30, 2009
33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA via Madison. Pale yellow colour, some limited visible carbonation. Thin head, some faint yeasty aroma. Watery texture, some spicy hop notes and skunky taste with a sweet finish. Chuggable on a hot day.

kseecs16 (1090) - Naperville, Illinois, USA - JUL 6, 2009
Bottle. Aroma is mettallic, a touch tart and fruity. Faint cold haze to this golden beer with a thin filmy off-white head that leaves no lacing. Sweet with a grainy cereal like body and a slight lingering bitterness. Thin and light bodied. Decent lager.

FunkyBrewster (1380) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 1, 2009
Pours a decent pale yellow with a small white lingering head. Aroma is very sweet malt, sugary, slightly citric and fruity. Flavor starts and ends with a lot of the same sweetness, some metallic notes along with a very mild bitterness towards the finish. Not a whole lot going on there. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Sort of bland, a lot of the same maltiness as the dark beer and the red too Id imagine. Easy drinking though, and a good step up from macro light beers for the price

noncaloric (684) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 7, 2009
Gold pour, open white frothy head. Floral, honeyed aroma. Flavor is dry, bready, sharp, somewhat stale. Towards the end, floral and gumball elements come out to give the beer a nice finish, however. Thin to medium body, smooth mouthfeel.

sethdude (653) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - APR 13, 2009
Pours bright gold. Aroma is skunked, sweet hops barely make it through the skunkiness with a mild hop pepper. Flavor is drier than the nose suggests (good), slightly skunked, with notes of citrus (orange peel), lemongrass, and dandelion in there. Floral hops presence, appropriate for the style. This beer is probably much better fresh, and would make a decent session beer when the whether is hot. Hides it’s relatively high ABV well for a simple style.
