On tap for growler fills at Half Time. Pours a clear orange amber with a thin white head. Soft sweet malt, toast and caramel. Light grain, earthy, crisp. Soft sweet malt, light caramel touches, soft grainy bitterness. Clean and easy drinking.

Amber with thin off-white head. No aroma to speak of. Clean finish. Nice session beer.

Pours a hazy golden with a smaller white head. Aroma of cheerios, light grains and noble hops. Flavor the same...really well done.

on tap at Fitzgerald’s 1928, glen ridge. body is light golden amber, only a little tan suds for head. aroma is biscuity, grassy, sweet crystal malt, and nutty. faint fruitiness too. light carbonation. flavor is sweet bready malt with leafy bitter hop, also grassy and nutty. mild bitter finish

Malty and biscuity taste with a hay/grassy finish. Overall, a very good drinkable beer that would compliment a nice hearty meal.

Tap at Studio Square’s Craft Beer Week Fest 2009: Hazy deep copper with a light tan film. Some soft fruity amber malt notes in the aroma with a touch of fruity U.S. hops. Creamy soft body- some vegetal in the flavor with a fruity malt character and perhaps a touch of diacetyl- yet it’s overlook-able. One dimensional and doesn’t feel German.

Draft at Craft. Pours coppery with off-khaki head. Nose is caramel malt, slight brown sugar, fruit, earthy notes. Tastes very caramel malty, with some fruit, earthy, nutty, and hoppy notes throughout.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2009 Dark copper color with a little bit of an off white head. Malty and complex, with a nice blend of hops coming through in the aftertaste. Very drinkable and tasty. Well made example of the style. (Added note on 3/13/09: Newer batches of this beer seem to have some wheat thrown into the grain bill, possibly to make it stand out from High Point’s previously similar Oktoberfest?)
