Bottled at RBESG 2007. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is weet mlaty with strong notes of bread. The flavor is sweet with not3es of bread and caramel with slight acidic notes in the background.

My first rating;I wanted it to be a good one but unfortunatly it is not! Bottle,from L.C.B.O.Drunk 46 days after bottling date. Let me help translate.. .When a Canadian beer co. writes "It has the color and hop ratio of the original Bavarian Lagers but done in our own Canadian style",that means that they are "trying there best" to be true to the style but are really brewing to the mass market of Canadian beer drinkers! Generally weak overall.The beer drinker that might like this the most is one who can’t get to Belgium or Holland and appreciates the sweet/sour traditional brewing techniques of old world brewers.

Au fût à "A cottage and a kitchen". Couleur brun ambrée tirant sur les teintes cerises. Peu ou pas de mousse, avec une effervescence légère. Parfum de houblon et de caramel léger. Goût frais, dominé par le houblon avec des pointes surettes. Goût de caramel très léger. Palais plutôt aqueux. Une bière pour le grand marché, peu remarquable avec quelques emprunts aux bières de style.

Dark clear orangy brown, dunkel. Light head. Smells fruity and tangy. Unexpectedly so. A little sweet tasting, slightly wheaty, not as much as expected from a Dunkel. A little bitter aftertaste.
