Pale reasonably active beer with a fairly alcoholic nose and a fairly sweet rather than dry flavour. Overall OK.

On tap at Summits Wayside Tavern-Poured apale golden color with a very minimal head-Some light fruits and nuttiness present in this one..A nice example of the style

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2007 Looks like a vanilla cream soda. Visible carbonation, clear light brown, no head. Slightly sweet, slightly sour, slightly malty, slightly bitter, slightly off ... like a hard cider mixed with beer. Nose was kind of unpleasant. // Like it even less this year.

This is perhaps an ok beer, if you are drunk, and want some more. If you want good aroma and flavor, pick something else.

Strong fresh bitterhop aroma. Pale golden, fine head, small bubbles. Flavors could be more clearly defined. Malty aftertaste, a bit watery though.

Pale golden color. Small white head. Smells very "german" (ment in a good way). Light and malty taste with hints of hop and sweetness. A nice beer for any occasion. Lass Die Raten, Trinke Spaten! :-)

Light malt and floral aroma that poured dark golden to amber with a medium tan head. Light clean malt taste with a dry mildly bitter finish. Good summer beer.

Light brown color. Hints of wheat on the nose and palate with overtones of sweet liquor. Nice trails of lace.

Light crisp slightly floral nose. Usual golden appearance with a decent white head. Malty taste with a pleasant bitter finish with a short to medium length. A good standard of beer.

It has a long lasting aroma. No too much head. Pleasant to drink. Had it on tap at a octoberfest and it was very good. Deep golden in color.
