Draught at Rattle ’n Hum, New York
Amber color. Light caramel aroma, dusty. Dry caramel flavor, an impression of honey. The final is lightly sweet. Simple.

Bright amber. Big malty, full bready aroma is really authentic and appetizing. Creamy body has a bready bitterness. Good stuff.

On tap at The Drafting Room in Springhouse, PA. Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of grains, lots of grainines, some toasted grains, and caramel. Tastes of the same toasted grains, with caramel and toffee. Thin all the way around and just all around dissapointing.

Sample at Brew Kettle: The beer is a lightly hazy dark amber color with a thin off-white head that recedes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is faintly sweet malt and grassy hops. Light body with grainy malt and light hops flavors. The finish is sweet and malty with a short mild hops aftertaste. Very run-of-the-mill overall.

Tap @ Bittercreek AleHouse Boise: Pours an amber color with a light head and moderate lacing. the nose is fruity and light with an up front grape and fig note. The flavor is chewy, malty with little to no biscuit and a predominate grape and hop accent note towards the tail. Quaffable and drinkable, but nothing outstanding. A decent lager with a sweeter appeal.

Draught, Brick Store. Clear amber. Thick, even white head. Aroma of Munich authenticity: sweet fresh grain leaping from the glass. However, the thin body is disappointing in comparison. Finishes with a nice sweetness and is overall not bad.

Poured a dark golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted dough, grains, citrus fruits, and light caramel. Taste of toast, toffee, earth, light citrus, and a dry finish.

Tap at Drafting Room in Springhouse. Pours a translucent golden amber with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of grainy Munich malt, toffee, vegetal and nuts. Flavor of grainy toasted malt, buttery, nuts and a touch of citrus.

Sample at Buckeye Beer Engine on 3/26/11. Clear amber pour with a medium off-white head. Bready munich malt aroma with some noble hops. Textbook dortmunder with munich malt flavor with noble hop crispness.
