Commercial Description:
This smooth lager strikes a delicate balance between malt and hops in the aroma, palate, finish and body. It has more body and less hops than a Pilsner, and less malt and more hops than a Munich style lager. 30 IBU.

Pours a clear golden color with a 1.5 finger foamy white head. The aroma is a sort of dry bready character with some grassy hop notes. The flavor is very similar to a pils, but with a lot of caramel character. Very crisp and clean tasting. Medium bodied. Sort of a dry finish, but doesn’t leave much flavor on the palate.

A deliciously refreshing beer that I’ve long dug. Very pure golden color with a lasting effervescence and a decent head too. Crisp hops in the aroma, with enough flavorful malts to balance. Not too bready, thankfully, with citrus and honey balancing things. Nice one.

Bottle. Pours a translucent copper with a bunch of golden notes and a medium bubbly/creamy off white head that laced. Aroma of a nice bready, lightly sweet malt, noble hops, lightly spicy hop notes, and a touch of citrus. Flavor of the same breast/lightly sweet malt, touch of toasted grains, lemon and a nice amount of noble hop flavor. Very well done.

Poured a dark gold. Spicey sweet aroma. Light medium body, doughy, the hop character is what makes this one worth while. It’s not often I enjoy a lager, this one is pretty good. Other lager producers should try and copy.

Pours a bright deep golden color with a substatial thick white head. Sweet malt, maple and spice aroma. Rich caramely sweet toasted malt flavor with some hop grassiness and mild bitterness. Excellent, but not entirely Dort-like.
