Naka (375), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 20, 2008 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.
jbuzz (414), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jul 21, 2008 Great Lakes Sample Pack from Woodman’s Oak Creek.
Aroma is very malty with some honey and caramel notes.. Flavor is slightly buttery, very smooth., very drinkable. Overalll, a very, very good beer, espiecially for the style
JCB (889), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jul 18, 2008 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. TomDecapolis (2346), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 17, 2008 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. timsilvia32 (116), born in Michigan, North Carolina, USA Jul 16, 2008 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. wxman (432), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jul 13, 2008 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.
