12 oz brown bottle for $1 at Vintage in Boardman. Ubiquitous free and easy pale yellow beer color. Has the aroma of eager refined uncooked bread dough yeast. The taste has hints of enterprising mechanical intuition. A short lived bite is present on the back of the throat. Good happy carbonation on the back of the tongue. Overall, a good lager like well behaved flavor taste and feel.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
draft at brewery, classic German style Dortmunder. Golden pour, small white head, good CO2, lively, lacing throughout the drink. Medium bodied, clean and crisp tasting, hints of fruits/citrus, well-balanced. Light on hop flavoring, clean finish. Not sure why the low ratings on this one?
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours golden from tap with a thin white head. Lots of carbonation on the tongue but not much aroma on the nose, not that the two are related. A bit of unspecified fruitiness on the tongue. Finishes clean.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sweet grain malt aroma. Flavor is right on style for a Dortmunder. Sweet grain malt and lager flavors. A light touch of lemon. Nice medium to light body but not watery. Fresh and clean tasting. Drinkable
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. A fine beer. Pours a very light yellow with a modest white head that subsides quickly. Grassy aroma, with light malts and some earthy hops. Flavor is delicate and on key. Some malty sweetness, followed by a dry and bitter finish. Quite nice.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
A- Transparent golden yellow body with thin white head that disappears quickly. Little to no lacing left behind in the glass.
S- Light sweet caramel malt smell. Nutty smell too. Very warm and inviting.
T- Initial taste is somewhat bland. Some hints of light malt. Aftertaste is wonderful. Sweet caramel malt and nutty flavors last and last.
P- Light carbonation and light body. Not watery. Well done since this beer has a very light character.
O- Great. I could session and enjoy this all day. I will get this one again.
