Oct 29, 2005 On tap at Church Brew works while in PA> A german style grain bill with a west-coast hop profile. incredibly drinkable, and a very nice beer. i taste simcoe or possibly amarillo hops in the flavor profile, which is odd for this style, but the new brewer at church pulls this off very well. very light, very clean tasting, with an excellent hop flavor and a wonderful malt backdrop. cheers to creating an american version of a german style with a beautiful hop flavor that is NOT hiding behind an IPA (for once).

Oct 13, 2005 I must confess, I really liked this beer. 3.6% - wow, that’s pretty light, is it going to have any flavor at all??? Yup - excellent - lot’s of tastyness in this light brew - I had 2 pints just to verify that fact. Not much aroma in this at all (unfortunately). Body is spritzy, medium bodied. Maltiness is bready although somewhat transparent. Hops - yeah - a little grassy, lightly bitter, peppery, I’d guess Hallertau and at least one or two others in there. I don’t know why this is on in late September - They could sell a whole lot of this in the hot summer weather. Another beer for the "Lawn-mowin’ Beer Hall of Fame" (On tap at the Church, 9/2005)
