Commercial Description:
Imported Bavarian malt lends a copper color and a toasty malt sweetness. German Tettnant and American Liberty hops balance this clean German ale.

On tap at the brew pub, poured a slightly hazy gold color with a thick white head. Aromas of sweet malts and a bit of bready yeast. Nice flavor, good caramel sweetness with a bitter undertone. Slick mouthfeel and a sweet fininsh. Another nice beer from Rocky River.

Pours a dark gold color with a modest off-white head. Quiet aromas of toasted malt and spicy hops. Sharp flavors: noble hops and biscuity maltiness. Medium body, bready aftertaste. Quite drinakble when all is said and done.

Sampled from a growler @ DLD 4/28/2007. Pours a clear dark golden color with a medium off white head. The aroma was citrus and weak caramel malts. The flavor was much like the aroma: light sweet caramel malt and citrus. The body was a bit thin and the finish was on the dry side. Overall, not bad, very drinkable.

I’m not a huge fan of the American hops in lagers. The dry straw malt can never match up to or balance the citrus and pine harshness of American hops. This beer is no exception. It’s good when paired with the pizza, but on it’s on the flavors clash a bit to me.

Date: 4/28/2007
Event: DarkLord Day 2007
Location: Three Floyds Brewing Co. Parking Lot
Serving: Sampled from a growler.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Light caramel malt and citrus.
Appearance: Clear golden color with a beige frothy crown.
Flavor: Light caramel malt and juicy citrus. Hints of rye characteristics in the dry and spicy finish (although there probably isn’t any rye in this beer).
Palate: Average palate; a little watery here and there.
Overall: Very easy to drink. Better than most Heller Bock/Maibock brews...
