tap at Wolfey’s in Elyria, Can’t really complain about this one, just your basic lager, with way too much sweetness, too much caramel malt too.. lagerheads get your act together.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate citrus and floral aroma. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Complex soft brew.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a clear golden color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of grassy hops and malt. Light body with flavors of moderately bitter hops, bready malt and a hint of fruit. The finish is herbal hops with a lingering bitterness left over. Decent overall.

So, I’m evidently the first. I am honored by the presence of this beer. Got this bomber at Vintage. Yes, its a lager but it sure does has have some ale character. Smell is rather clean. Some floral hellerin there. During the first taste I think it may be strong lager. Some bitter, what I perceive to be hops. Perhaps a little processed. Smooths out during the session a bit. Somewhat creamy palate. A little medicinal and almost sweet backbone, especially apparent on the finish. Should do well within its style. Yea, can’t help feeling this has more ale than lager. Probably too much for pale lager lovers like me. Could use a few manners.
