COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"Our Lager (Dortmund-style) is brewed with pale, Munich and Vienna malts and is moderately hopped with Hallertauer hops. The Dortmund style evolved in the steel-making town that bares the name and is a hearty lager with great heft in the mid-palate. The hops balance the malt but not overtly so. Canadian 2-Row Pale Malt Durst Munich and Vienna malt Magnum - Bittering hops Hallertauer - Flavor & aroma hops ABV: 4.8% IBUs: 35"

Pours light amber with a tall but a short-lived white head. Aroma initially floral and malt. A bit of fruit and bread in the taste, bitter floral hop flavor after the initial sweetness. Nice carbonation, not too heavy or light.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - FEB 28, 2006
Pours a pale clean golden with light carbonation and a thin-lacing, airy white head. Aroma is mildly, sweet and toasty with some graininess and noble hoppy presence. Body starts with a mild light sweetness, turning more dry and bitter toward a crisp, authentic finish. Fairly true to style, it’s just not that exciting of a beer.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 27, 2006
12oz bottle acquired in trade. Poured a medium and clear golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grass, citrus, and I get some spiciness. Tastes of citrus and grass. Like the tastes, the body was a litte on the weak and watery side. Lively body as well. Not one of my favorite styles, but still drinakable.

zach8270 (2803) - Henrietta, New York, USA - JAN 12, 2006
(bottle - 12 oz) Clear yellowish/gold with a thin white head. Bitter hoppy and grassy aroma with some lemon underneath it all perhaps. The taste begins slightly sweet with some nice hops after the sweetness and a crisp and quenching finish. Kind of bitter, but not too overpowering. A nice warm weather session beer.

Bottle from jjpm74 on a locals trade Thanks John!<P>Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is grassy lager. Flavor is nice with a sweet finish. I could see keeping these around in the garage for a thirst quencher.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear gold with a white head that lasted through the entire glass. Moderate carbonation. Light floral aroma. First sip tastes of light malt sweetness and corn cereal. Crisp and dry aftertaste. A pleasant and enjoyable brew.

5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - SEP 10, 2005
Bottle: Pale golden, very clear, moderate white frothy head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation.   Very light floral aroma, slight graininess.   Sweet grass up front, slightly malty, thankfully not very grainy.   Not bad...   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly clean finish, slightly buttery tho.   Not half bad, perhaps a bit heavier than other examples.   Thanks John!
