COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The rich amber color and caramel flavor of this beer are derived from the generous amount of caramel malt in our recipe, with just a dash of roasted unmalted barley for a subtle toasted flavor in the background. The sweetness, body, and mouth feel tell you that this is an all-malt beer. The finish has a balanced edge of Willamen and Casade hoppiness which cuts through the malty character, leaving a clean palate which beckons for more. Note: the terminology of "stein" refers to the appropriate drinking vessel and not to a type of beer made with hot rocks.

Orange-brown lager that’s lighter than it looks. Caramel mostly, minimal hops. A bit burnt in the aftertaste, though not unpleasantly so. Iffy echoes of cheapness persist, though that may be simply memories of inferior lagers coming to the fore.

Pours medium amber with a medium tan head. Caramel, biscuit, and toast malt, but not overpowering. Soft carbonation, slick feel with long finish. Medium sweet, light bitterness. This is a very drinkable beer with nice malt flavor. -Fish!
