May 12, 2008 Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of hops, elderberries, and coriander. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of elderberries, hops, and coriander, leading to a dry straw finish.

Apr 20, 2008 Thanks SoLan. Pours a murky golden color. Very spicy, hoppy nose, not what I expected at all Some back notes of hay and grass come through as well. Flavor is well balanced and graceful, with the Pilsner malts playing harmoniously with the American hops. Excellent beer.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle... Murky, straw-colored lager with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Excellent, tight retention. Herbs and spices construct the nose (grains of paradise, coriander, English lavender) along with esters and phenols of banana, bubblegum and clove. Full-bodied and creamy with moderate carbonation. Sweet pilsner malt balanced by medium, earthy hop bitterness. Spicy, moderately bitter finish. Kudos to SoLan for providing the bottle and the late night eats from the McDonald’s "dollar menu!"

Apr 18, 2008 Thanks to solan for sharing this one! Citrus hops, spicy, with a sligthly musty aroma. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Great hop flavor, great malty crisp lager bite, and great citrus hop flavor. Great combination of an american ipa and german lager. Great beer!

Apr 18, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Thanks Alan! Pours a cloudy goldenrod hue with a small, foamy, white head. Sudsy legs mostly rejoin the body. The nose is dry, grassy, and hoppy with a bold, funky, spicy yeast profile. The flavor again benefits from an obviously aggressive dry hopping, with dehydrated grasses and herbs showing quite strong over sweet, pale malts and spicy, peppery yeast. The body is substantial, with perfect carbonation providing for a lightly prickly, fizzy feel on the tongue. Each sip makes you want more and more. A very memorable brew. Excellent.
