COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A classic Pre-Prohibition style of American lager that died out during Prohibition. Made from American 6-row barley and 20% flaked rice to dilute the excessive protein levels, giving it a slight sweetness that is offset by good hop levels. Medium to high malt and hop flavor and aroma. We use German Magnum & Tettnanger, American Santiam and Czech Saaz Hops.

Draft. Pours a pale golden body with a white head. Thin simple and light, crisp pretty clean no real haze to speak of in the appearance. Grainy body, hay rice adjunctive, typical pale lager, preferable to other macro choices.

On tap at Gaslight. Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium sized white head. Light citrus, hints of sweet grain. Thin and empty, a bit sweet. Not as grainy as I’d have expected. Not offensive or bad, just a rather empty beer overall. My guess is that it’s their biggest seller.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and crisp. Smooth on the palate with a slightly dry malt finish.

on tap-pours a thin white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet grain, spicy hops. Taste is sweet grain, floral/herbal, spicy hops-slightly bitter (continental hops). OK/mild carbonation. The one uninfected beer of the day! Seeing the 2 earlier raters comments, confirms my thoughts on how unfortunate this inconsistency is. SANITATION, CLEAN-CLEAN-CLEAN!

6/25/05 at Garden State Brewfest. Good thing this style of American Lager died out when Prohibition came around. This was beat. Please reference tsarman’s rating (who was there with me nearly 6 months ago).

At the 2005 Garden State Brewfest. An ok lager, though infinitely forgettable. First Gaslight beer I tried that day, and it was probably the worst.
