 Pigfoot (2225), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Apr 25, 2007 Pours a perfect golden tone, with hefty head, pure white, but soon slimming, and tons of carbonation, billions of bubbles.
Aroma, sweet, floral hops, bits o’ herb and honey in this nose, nicely hoppy. Lovely fragrance.
Taste: clean, lean, and lightly fruity, just enough juicy malt. Again, nice, light hops. Just the right zing and zest from both hops and yeast. Minor butter in the malt. buttered biscuits, mmm,mmm. Great flavor in this. Man, this is my kind of lager. I could drink it and drink it.
Yum.

Feb 11, 2007 pours a clear deep gold with lots of dancing bubbles of carbonation, topped by just under an inch of creamy white foam. Very scant lacing. Mild and smooth hop aroma - nothing stands out.
Smooth is the key word here - nothing powerful, nothing flashy, but great balance and drinkability. The malt is a good balance between fruity sweet and biscuit dry. The mellow hops provide a nice balance with a subtle bitterness. The bitterness comes out more in the finish and aftertaste. Just shy of medium body, softly carbonated.
