Bottled 3/21/06. Poured a clear amber with a frothy white head. Nice sweet malt and fruit aroma. The flavor finds lots of caramel malts with some fruits. Sweet throughout. Medium to full body. Very enjoyable. (Rating from June ’07)

3.28.2006 bottling date. Clear amber with a frothy off white head, nice lacing. Big malty white bread yeast, oxidized aroma. Medium body. Lots of yeasty white bread in the flavor, along with some heavy pale malts. The alcohol is noticeable but doesn’t get in the way. Pretty good for a two plus year old lager.

Bottle from GMCC2181. Golden color when poured with thick head, Taste is malty with a hop taste afterwards. A good everyday brew.

750ML Bottle from Ibrew2or3. (2006) Orange/yellow in color. Malty aroma. Taste very sweet. Malt backbone mild amount of hops. For a lager it was very easy to drink. Mild amount of carbonation. Overall another solid beer by DFH!

Pours a deep orange-golden. Perfumey floral aroma, sweet malt. Very malty foundation, sweet, generously hopped to deliver complex floral aromatics. Finish is long and bitter. Delicious!
