Commercial Description:
Modeled after the style of beer produced in Baltimore just after Prohibition. The beer is pale in color, is made with 100% malt, and has a very mild Hersbrucker hop character. A great example of the kind of beer our grandfathers consumed.

Pour is a pale yellow with a large white head. Aroma is an almost pils malt, very dry. Flavor is again very dry malts with a little corn sweetness at the end. Is this a good beer? Not really. Is this a better than average lager? Yes.

A well carbonated golden beer with a one finger head that has nice retention. Aroma is also pleasant with nice malt notes. Flavor is also malty with some grain. Somewhat dry. Light bitterness. A lager with pleasant flavor and feel. Much better than the macros.

I really enjoyed this beer more than i thought it would. The lager had a very crisp and refreshing taste with a great palate and sweet notes to the head. I am again impressed by Clipper City Brewing.

Poured a golden color from draft while staying at the Harbor, small white colored head (it was dark, though?). Aroma of grains, cereal, some dry grass elements? Ditto all that on the flavor, slightly sweet but finishes more dry than expected. A snorefest of a beer, but an easy drinker, although I only had one.

Received a 12-oz bottle via trade with kmweaver. Pours a clear golden pale with a white head that dissolves fast and leaves behind a fine white film coating. Very good lacing on glass side. Aroma is sweet, light malt with a touch of sweet corn. Good balance of malt and hops. Taste has a medium body with a smooth carbonation. Thought this is listed as a "Premium Lager" category, this is more of an American Lager. A good summer session beer overall.

Really nice local session beer. Pours a good amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is malty with little to no hop nose. Flavor is malty yet crisp and clean. Order a pitcher next time your in Baltimore and share with some friends. You could do worse.

12oz – Clear gold, white creamy head. Soft sweet toasted caramel aromas warms to light swirls of corn. Balanced grainy cereal flavor rounds with a touch of backend sweet biscuit. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Non offensive, but this is true beginner beer…

Overall Impression: Not a very good beer, one of those cheapish local beers every locale has, this is one of Baltimore’s, but hey, it’s better then Natty Bo!
