3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle - from sampler pack. Dark golden to copper color - pretty clear. Clean aroma with some malt. Good - nice balance of malt and hops. Tastes like a German beer.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Best by June 30, 2013.
Appearance - golden amber with rich, white, two-finger head that dissipates to a lacy cap.
Aroma - sweet malt and fresh baked bread with a hint of earthy hops.
Taste - floral, earthy hop bitterness perfectly balances the sweet, bready malt backbone.
Mouthfeel - Moderate carbonation and body, crisp dry finish.
Overall - a well crafted lager, nicely balanced and highly enjoyable.

Hazy orange pour with white head. Aroma of unsweet grapefruit and hops. Taste is sweet immediately overridden by medium bitter. Nice balance.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
A very light orange pour. Some fruity and hop aroma. It has a very strong pilsner taste. Refreshing but not the best

Pretty average lager style. Great balance! Like the feel and would drink many outside!

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2013 Pouts golden, as expected, head hangs around for a while. Smells bready and sweet. Taste follows with bread and grain notes and hop flavor. Mild bitterness follows and ends with a spicy kick. Very good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Poured into English pint glass. Amber in color with a nice head. I have enjoyed Great Lakes since they came to Jersey a few months ago. This is a very good Dortmunder. Well balanced and not overly hoppy. Fair amount of carbonation. I would say it has a light bitterness. Very drinkable.

A little too bitter for me. Also a very strong hops aftertaste. An above average lager that tastes a lot like an ale.

Bottles in various glasses and straight from the bottle. This has a nice balance of malt and hops when I don’t want a hoppy IPA. I also offer it to try to convert BMC drinkers who say they don’t like craft beer because it "all hoppy and bitter."

12 ounce bottle. Pours a bright amber gold color topped by a small creamy beige head. Light fresh grainy malt aroma. Crisp dry toasted malt flavor has grassy undertones and a light peppery hop presence. Very flavorful with a medium body and nice balance. Brief dry finish is pleasant and makes this a very drinkable lager.

I had this at the Tudar Arms hotel bar. I thought it had European Lager taste. Pretty good. I would drink this again.
