Draft at Alchemy. Orange-brown with a thin off-white head. Malty and subdued, nails the style. Sweet, doughy lager tones. Mild hop bite fades out quickly, just enough to add some mouthfeel and balance. Very bready. Quality beer, perhaps outclassing most German examples.

on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is sweet light/medium malt. Taste is sweet light/medium malt-honey, seconday herbal/spice hops.

Tap at the brewpub as Hell’s Lager. "Clean, crisp and a slight mineral character, this cold fermented classic is a genuine summer refresher. 5.3% Pours amber witha slight white head. Medium body with mild carbonation. Somewhat bready flavor. Hop is laid back. Finishes moderately bitter, slightly astringent. Fairly tasty.

Tasted at brewery. Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Vanilla malt aroma and taste with a bready flavor.
