1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: JUN 30, 2006 I am not a big fan of this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with a small white head. The aroma is sour tangy malts. The flavor is sour and tangy with a hint of pepper.

Roasted maltiness combined with a sweet backbeat of bread dough makes this one pretty drinkable, but really far from what i think of as a dortmunder. it does have some interesting combination of hops to liven things up...some herbal in quality, some bittering, even a touch of floral notes. Pretty decent and eminently drinkable.

12 oz. Bottle. It pours a crystal clear straw color with a fizzy white head and watery lacing. It has a sweet malt nose with earthy notes. Sweet malt flavor backed up with a subtle, but firm bitter hop bite. Note something I would drink all the time but it is a nicely made beer.

Bottle: Pale yellow orange with a thin white head, bready aroma with some light grass, lightly bitter, grainy aftertaste. A nice lager.

12 oz. bottle. Golden color with medium head. The aroma might have a bit of corn with the malt, not much hop aroma detectible. The flavor is pretty clean and some hops are present and overall a decent lager.

yellow, whit head some retention some carmonation. Corny, yeasty aroma. mild malt balance of yeast and some sweet malt motes but it seemed kinda bland. Easy to drink though.

Bottle. Beer of the month. Pours super clear yellow (like a lager should). Small white head with big bubbles. Went completely away quickly, no foam, no lacing. Very little aroma. Tastes good and refreshing, sort of like a good european lager, but without as much character and flavor. Way better than a domestic bmc fizzy beer though. Light mouthfeel, good for the style. A decent lager, nothing special, but no real complaints. I have trouble picking up specific flavors, etc. in lagers right now.

Yeasty, bready, dry up front, and hoppy up front too. Resolves still dry, but malts replace hops for the dominant taste in the end. I was skeptical at first (only because the label reminded me of some swill I bought at Sams once), but found this to be a really nice lager. Very nice indeed.
I would sum up by saying it reminds me of Anchor Steam, but witha little more agression and maybe personality.
