Sampled on tap at the new Plano Gingerman.
The beer pours a gold-orange color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of bready malt and some corn and wheat. The flavor is bready malt, grapes and floral hops. The flowers and grapes stand out quite a bit and a are a bit overwhelming. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A nice tall mug of this at a German bar was a nice experience. deep golden color and a foamy head. the aroma was a touch of spice and yeast. The flavor was once again spice but some graininess and corn. a simple and ok beer

(tap at Eli Cannon’s in Middletown CT, 6.5%)
good and drinkable, some balanced gentle flavors.
style seems a bit no-mans-land to me as it lacks the character of a doppelbock or the simplicity of an amber lager or the robustness of a dark lager.
