tiggmtl (4179), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 7, 2006 Aroma evokes visions of a clay pot of floral, perfumey honey set upon the earth packed floor of a farmhouse basement with plenty of musty cobwebs. Some light vegetal notes and sweet grainy malt character are also apparent. Hazy blonde body is topped by a low but lasting, fine bubbled, white head that laces well. Grainy malt flavour is somewhat musty with plenty of honey and floral hop notes and mild but very pleasing bitterness that lasts on the tongue in the aftertaste. Creamy smooth texture and soft, fine bubbled carbonation to the medium light body. Bottle sampled with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere. bigwilly (1), Warrens, Wisconsin, USA does not count Jun 20, 2007 One of my faves from Deb and Dan’s outfit.
There are certain occasions where no other beer will do. To me it is unique among beers with its complex finish
and yeasty, almost creamy body. It almost falls into the category of so called "comfort food" ...except of course, its beer, and a darn good one at that.
I taste a little something new every time I open one of these great beers. Not enough room to give it proper respect, so let just finish ’er off by sayin’ come to Wisconsin and enjoy one of these fine beers! You won’t be disappointed. mkobes (2039), somewhere, New Jersey, USA May 10, 2006 Bottle. Yellow in color with a nice white head. Grainy aroma. Very grainy aroma. Malty and nice hoppy flavor. Smooth. Medium bodied. Finish is hoppy. Very nice. Eyedrinkale (3111), Beer Town, New York, USA May 9, 2006 Bottle. Grains, grains and more grains. Luxurious toasty aroma. Puffy white head and an extra smooth body. Mellow hoppiness is just right. Boutip (1815), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 28, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Monger: Poured a cloudy golden yellow color beer with a large foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of floral malt with some spicy yeast notes is quite enjoyable. Taste is dominated by some nice floral notes and semi-sweet malt presence. Yeast is also noticeable and provides a spicy aspect to the beer with some crisp hops at the end. Body is full with limited filtration and great carbonation. I had this yesterday after a long hot and humid summer days so I might be slightly overrating this one but I still think it shows that great lager can be brewed as opposed to the crappy ones that flood the market.
