UPDATED: JUL 5, 2006 Orange gold, lightly hazy. Cereal aroma. Rather one-dimensional oaty cereal flavor - like the runoff from soupy oatmeal. Grain sweetness, underbittered. Finishes out lightly toasty with faint twinges of German hops. On tap, d.b.a, NYC.

Pours a cloudy orange with quickly fading white head. Aroma of citrus hops and straw with a light sweetness. Flavor is a sweet hoppy with a slightly bitter hoppy finish.

A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also light caramel notes. The flavor is sweet hoppy with a dry bitter end, that mixes in light hoppy notes.

Draught. Not sure this is the same beer, drunk under the name Lager "Fall-Bier" Darker, clear "old gold"; white head, dissipating. Sweet - and again! - diacethyl, even when rather faint. Yeasty. Very dull, faint-grassy flavour: some roasted malts impression. Maltsugar dissolved in springwater. Light to medium bodied. Dull to the point of dying. If one needs diacethyl to provide some flavour...

A cloudy yellow, sudsy, fluffy head and decent lace. Fine particals throughout. Malty nose with notes of herbs, hay and grass.. Medium light bodied, some diacetyl perhaps, fairly clean, well defined malt with herbal and bitter hopping, touch of metal. Passable lager.

Straw body with some rising carbonation, large head receding, weak nose with herbal and grassy notes. Buttery flavor - diacetyl in a German lager? This has a somewhat overcarbonated mouthfeel and is wrong, wrong, wrong! It leaves a rather lactic finish as well. Yummy metallic tinge too! I have no idea what the description that I typed in means, but perhaps this is supposed to be consumed in 2010? ;)
