Commercial Description:
The lager is the lightest, most refreshing of our beers. It's a classic Bavarian style lager with a delicious bready malt palate and an assertive noble hop finish. It just makes your mouth beg for more...
Called Winter Vintage when released during the winter.

Wow! This stuff is Amazing! Much more than I had expected from a Dortmunder. The color is a glowing golden-orange, not yellow at all. Opaque, but not cloudy. Aroma is somewhat sweet, like honey, but not sickening at all. The flavor, oh my! What a unique beverage. It makes my mouth dance with pleasure! A remarkable product from a local, small-batch brewer. Post-script: Recent bottle poured almost clear. Flavor still great, but the second glass had more "chaff" and solids in suspension, much more interesting this way: I suggest if you've got a bottle that's been sitting upright a few days, tip it gently before you open to distribute the solids more evenly. The character is definately better this way!

A great refreshing beer. For a lager this beer is full of hops. Not too much but just the right balance. Love the label, nice summer theme. Grab a 750ml and share it with a buddy or do it alone. Another great beer from Nantucket island!

Clear golden pour with a huge chunky, frothy head. Extensive lacing. Aroma is lemony and grassy. Very fresh smelling. Flavor is fresh, wheaty, citrusy. Delicious and fresh. A wonderfuly beautiful beer.

This was such a pain in the neck to track down, but it was definitely worth finding as it’s by far one of this brewer’s best offerings. Pours gold and cloudy with a lazy but persistent white head. Tastes and smells of lemons, lime, grapefruit and just about every tisane or citrus fruit you can think of. Extremely complex with a very nice albeit on the tarte end finish.

Golden yellow/straw appearance with a slight chill haze. Bubbly white head. Moderate hop aroma that is akin to taking a deep breath in field of tall grass and wild flowers. The hop flavor blankets your entire palate. Not as carbed as I was led to believe (but then I made sure I chilled this puppy real good), it was, in fact pleasingly subtle. A very full bodied malt profile as well. You guys make great beers, so how about getting them off that sand bar and down to Jersey!
