COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A burnished gold, rich, malty Marzen-style beer, brewed with Hallertau and Tettanger hops to give it a spicy counterpoint. We lager Grossvater for a full month to fully develop its mellow, tasty palate. 1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
This draft brew from the brew pub poured a medium sized head of frothy fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light orange colored body and a good lacing. The weak aroma was malty. The semi-flat mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt hops and dough. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Brockway. Poured a clear lighter golden with a sticky white cap and lacing. Aroma was soft and rather pleasant.. sweet caramel with some floral notes... perhaps a pinch of honey. Soft caramel and honey flavor base with moderate floral and spicy bitterness.. oh-so-slightly toasted.. medium-high pine and floral bitterness through the finish. Just about medium-bodied.. nice consistent bitterness throughout.. felt good.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Served a bright, deep golden under white. MIld aroma: pale malt and mild lagering yeasts next to nothingness. Hallertau presence is surprisingly fat, contributing a smooth, constant bitterness to the flavor. The beer has an identity crisis as mentioned, but I could certainly make this a go-to Pils. <font size=-4>On tap at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/palati Chophouse, Palatine, IL 60067</font>
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
To me this came across more like a Bohemian Pilsener than it did a Märzen, which is the style it’s called at the brewpub. I probably would’ve scored it higher had it been called something else. The body is a bright gold with a fluffy white head. The aroma is a sweet grainy malt with a light floral/herbal hopping. Medium bodied, the flavor echoes the aroma, finishing on a crisp, bitter note. Okay, but I question the style. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Chophouse, Palatine, IL<font size=-1>
