2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
32oz growler, filled about 9 hours ago from the Lager House.. There was a little bit of extra air space in the top of the growler. Totally clear orange color. Minimal bubbly white head, fades to virtually nothing. Medium-plus body. Light, crisp carbonation, pretty smooth. Some floral notes in the nose. Light caramel malt, little lightly spicy hop, little fruitiness. Pretty bready. Mostly sweet taste, a light bitterness, and a very light bite in the finish. Not a bad maibock to session

Draft at the lager house. pours deep golden amber with a small off white head. Aroma is malty and bready with notes of biscuit and toast, a slight hop spiciness in the back. Flavor is much the same, lots of that bread and biscuit, really smooth, with a stronger herbal hop presence and light fruitiness. Medium body and a sgarp carbonation. Nice beer
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 22, 2012 Mild, almost undetectable aroma of roasted malt. Appearance has a nice amber color with a white head that starts out full and stays around. Rich roasted malt flavor with some doughy characteristics (pizza crust?) and vegital undertones. Moderately well balanced hop bitterness remains in the aftertaste. Crisp lager character. I like it. Very good effort.

Draft to mug. Looks good; copper with nice head and CO2. Smells and tastes pretty good, but could be a little matter. mouthfeel is solid. Good but not great.

A very fine brew. Would be a great session beer. Effervescent and light, but with a nice hops kick. Reminds me of Sam Adams, but better.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle from Tmoney99. Pours a clear golden amber color with a large off white head. The aroma is pale malt, mildly spicy hopswith hints of caramel dipped bread. The flavor has a hefty dose of caramel dipped bready malts, very light spicy hops with a hint of grassy bitterness at the finish. This is pretty clean and easy to drink.
