medium strong hop bitterness, good texture, moonlight hop signature, very aromatic with bits of toast and biscuit but mostly all hops, grassy, herbal, wonderful crisp and too relaxed warm. I love this brewery.

Apr 8, 2008 On tap at Toronado in San Francisco. This was a pretty strange creation I thought. Light amber color with plenty of carbonation but no head on the pour. Aromatics are a confusing combo of the interacting rye malt and oats used. Very grassy and earthy. Sweet toasted cinnamon bread in the flavor that immediately leads to a dry, bittered finish. Almost reminds me of an English brown on hop steroids or something. I had a hard time figuring out the finish. Sessionable.

Apr 3, 2008 Tap @ Toronado on 4-2-08. A medium yellow golden color. A nice robust flavor seemingly filled with everything that they could throw at this lager. A malty earthy aroma.

Mar 29, 2008 Draft at Sonoma Wine Exchange. Nice grassy hop aroma. Light amber color with a great white head. Medium body with very creamy carbonation. Flavor of wheat and malt - very mildly sweet. The finish is malty, but dry! There’s a decent amount of floral and/or grassy hop. This could pass for an ale. It’s also a lot more complex than I’m able to describe.

Mar 13, 2008 Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Light mineral, light malt aroma. Malty, mineral, earthy, grass, spice flavor. Medium bodied. Spice, mineral, earth, malt lingers. Lots of flavor, but doesn’t all mesh easily.
