Sample at Madison Homebrew Club meeting. Filtered orange-tan. Light bodied, some corny cheap malt tones. Very close to domestic swill. Husky. Buttery aroma.

Pours a deep brown with beige head. Nose is dry and malty. Taste is dry, clean, a bit of rye, smoke, malt. Dangerously drinkable, but ultimately not very exciting. Good brew.

22 oz bomber pours golden amber with a white head. Aroma of caramel malts, grass and grain. Taste is the malt, yeast and spicy hops. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle - fair size foamy head, nice medium amber color, sweet malty aroma and flavor with mild hops, definitely fuller flavored than your typical macro lager, better than expected ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sampled at GABF on Saturday October 13, first session
Hazy golden color, white head. Sweet scent. Sweet, malty taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

22 oz. bottle. Muddy, hazy chestnut brown pour with small white head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, mild crisp hops. Flavor has a lot of caramel, toffee, and some baked bread. Mild biscuit, toasted malt, and nutty notes as well. Medium bodied, finishes on a toasted malt note. Nice dunkel lager.

Draft at Brewhaus in Springfield. Almost clear dark golden. A decent layer of foam. Some soft noble hops along with grains and pale malts in the nose. That is pretty much what is tasted, too. The hops are a bit grassy and damp. They also add some brightness. As the beer warms a bit of earthy malts emerge. It mixes nicely with those hops. Then a spice pops up. It is akin to red hot candy. Ok, call me a fan of this. I cannot remember a more interesting American lager.

At Brewhaus in Springfield. I thought that this was pretty good. Medium malty and medium hoppy. Had some body and refreshing. Serving: Tap
