COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The kinetic beauty of Noble hops grabs you by the nose and lets you know: this is German-inspired beer. A mild, bready malt sweetness greets you at the lips, smoothing the crisp hop flavors. Flywheel is meant for bombastic celebrations of singing voices and clamoring mugs. But then, that first contented moment of happy hour is uniquely celebratory as well. Now, where is that liter-toting Fräulein anyway?

Pale yellow. Small white head. Light lace. Bland grassy aroma. Mild flavor and bite. Not too sweet.nicely balanced and just a little bitter.

Pours a typical piss poor lager color. Nose is grainy and flat, what a surprise...and guess what, in typical lager fashion, flat, boring and tasteless. Maybe, just maybe for a very very hot sweaty humid afternoon in South Florida. Happy Hour, really ! Ugh. Quaff Score 3 / 10 Hey, what do you say. Monk, Trane and Davis...may they R.I.P. like all lagers.

zgaier (714) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - JUN 18, 2013
Pours a clear yellow with a white head and light aroma of grains. Taste is of malt, grains, grass, and bread with a crisp finish. Typical lager, light and not very flavorful

ccex (826) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 2, 2013
12 oz bottle pours a clear pale yellow with average white head. Aroma is full of grains and yeast that make this seem more German than American. Body and carbonation are light. Taste is slightly sweet at first but drier on the finish. This is a good local session beer

Aroma is grainy malts and a hint of spice. The flavor is grainy malts, relatively low sweetness, bread and citrus hops in the finish.

dutch23mp (243) - Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA - JAN 5, 2013
Nice local brew light bodied beer with thin average taste. Not bad but not overwhelming either. As with others that have posted this has a German influence but then an American lager taste

justsayswell (23) - Missouri, USA - DEC 20, 2012
Pours a cloudy pale straw, fizzy, with a quickly dissipating white head that leaves a little raft of foam in the center of my glass. Smells like a pre-prohibition lagers, bready malts, a little sour. No discernible hops. Taste is surprising with an initial pop of floral noble hops, lightly sour and bready malt. Do I detect a hint of corn? I can taste German influence, though. Not a bad session beer, easy drinking. It’s not as cohesive as I would like, and it seems to have a little off-putting metallic quality to the finish.

Very nice aroma of wet corn. A golden appearance. Not much head. Tastes of malty breadiness and the typical flavors of good lagers.

ryanfolty (1464) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - SEP 6, 2012
September 6, 2012 bottle at Rockit. Cloudy yellow pour with some nice head. Aroma and taste that were a funky grain and sweet malt. Light to medium body and some carbonation.

DrinkEmUpJones (1021) - Georgia, USA - AUG 25, 2012
Pours clear gold wih sticky lacing. A little skunky on the nose. Definitely a basement and metallic feel flavor-wise. Lingering finish is not a good thing. Ok for a lager i guess, but, overall, not a tasty beer.
