@ Taphouse Grill. Clear a,mber color/ lasting white head. Mild dusty pale malt aromas with a whiff of spicy black pepper. medium bodied with average co2. Mild, but decent pale malt, black pepper, dusty spice flavors, clean finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Tap House Bellevue. Pours crystal clear medium amber with a sudsy off-white head that doesn’t stick around for very long. Mild bready, malty, caramelly nose. Getting amber waves of grain vibes here for sure. Creamy medium body, surprisingly dense and heavy for a lager. Woolly carb. Seems like they want you to feel like you’re getting an ale but holding off on completely busting it out with the big body to keep it on the sessionable side. Toasty, nutty, caramelly mid-palate, a little nitrogenous and indistinct, maybe from a carbonic bite. Not at all unpleasant. Not sure if this’ll be the flagship beer they’re hoping for...brewing to the tastes of the masses is not an enviable proposition.

Light amber in color, clear with a thin head. Lots of roasty malt in the nose with light hops. Loved the lager flavor of this beer. You can drink this all day. Tasty and fresh this was great. Very smooth in the finish.

Well I guess this is the first rate. Nose is rather sweet for a lager, smells a lot more like a golden ale to me with notes of somewhat sweet grain and thats about it plus some residual sugars. Does not smell clean like a lager should. Muddy off golden pour no head or lace. Medium malty sweetness dominates the flavor. Light earthy hops in the finish. Not clean like I was expecting. Much like a golden ale. Not bad or flawed, but seemingly not to style, definitely needs work.
