From a 12 oz bottle in their variety pack. It was a gusher. Fairly standard lager, just too carbonated to really get into it. The only real knock on it is in the palate because of the overcarbonation.

(12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a cloudy golden light brown color with little head. Aroma is of pale malt. Tastes of pale malt balanced with a light hoppiness. Medium to light bitterness and light sweetness. Watery texture and average carbonation.

Not a big fan of this brewery in general and the lager isn’t much different. There isn’t much to this brew. Its plain and not very exciting at all.

pours a hazy hiney color...hint of amber...with a medium sized tight white head. very lively looking. aroma is lightly bready and grainy with a hint of grassiness. flavor is light and earthy, bready at first with grassiness and a touch of spiciness following. mouthfeel is crisp and lively...refreshing with a earthy dry finish. i could drink these all afternoon.

From a bottle poured a golden color with a fair amount of head. Light malty flavor, very drinkable with a quick finish.

12oz bottle. Pours a golden color with a decent head that dies quicly. The aroma is very faint, of sweet malts with a grainy trace. A bland flavor with not much going on, there’s some malt, but not much. Flavor is extremely understated and watery.

Labeled as an "Unfiltered Lager," and now I know why. Too bad I poured it into a glass. Cloudy golden, haze fills the glass as the yeast settles on the bottom. Sorry but the yeast kinda looks funky. I should have stayed with the filtered lager, I guess. Very light lemony aroma, would make a great summer beer.

There always seems to be a bias against straightforward beers like this lager. Rating the beer within the style, I find this unfiltered lager to be extremely enjoyable and one I come back to often.
