This is not a lager, tho it does have some qualitaies of a lager. Not too much color in this one, quite light almost like seven up. Barely a hint of beer aroma, but it is there and it is clean quality. Very light tasting, almost like some good witbiers I’ve tasted. Reminds me of old german. Of course this is sposed to be light. Nice carbonation, the consistancy of champagge or tonic water. Well behaved and well mannered. Finish is easy and nice, perfect repeatable session brew. Overall, this is a decent brew that I would not hesistate to purchase again.. One of the more enjoyable brews from this brewery. Best golden ale so far.

Nothing too special about this one. A pretty basic pale lager. Has a nice little hoppy taste to it, but its not too overwhelming.

Light hoppy grainy aroma. Like a clean pilsener or light beer. Clean and sweet without being light beer chemical. Pale, pale, clear yellow with slight haze, topped with a small white head. Mild watery body with medium carbonation. Starts light and hoppy with nice graininess. Bit weak and chalky at the finish. Mild bitter after. Not much flavor, but for a lighter beer, it’s well done. A good gateway beer.
