Commercial Description:
Vienna style amber lager with a light copper color and nice malt sweetness. Rich, creamy and medium to full bodied, this lager uses seven different malts and three varieties of imported and domestic hops

Editor's note: A recipe formerly brewed by Independence Brewing in Philadelphia (defunct since 2000), and ressurrected for the 300. anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birth by Lancaster Brewing Company.

Draft at Malvern Brew Fest. Bill Moore is now brewing at Lancaster, and Bill is known as a lager guy. I had an opportunity to chat with him at this fest, and I am very excited to try his beers as he brews them. His Awesome Ale recipe is one of my favorite APAs ever. This is one of his flagship recipes. It is dark straw colored, with some aroma notes of pale malt, honey, hops, and slight citrus. The flavor is bold and complex for a lager, with honey maltiness up front giving way to a bready fruity element at the finish.

A nice dark golden lager that produced a decent off white head. I enjoyed Franklinfest while it was still around. No longer produced but I’m looking for the recipe.

Had at the Lancaster Homebase. This was good for a pale lager. Had a nice bit of spice to it seemed like it would be a good autumn seasonal.

On tap at the brewery. Floral aroma and taste was a of sweet malts and a nice floral tone. Not the best balanced beer but a very drinkable beer.

On draft at GL. Pours a light clear coppery orange with a medium beige head. Aroma of grain, wheat and faint hops. Slight malty taste with hints of grain, wheat and faint hops. Has a tangy aftertaste.
