Pours a beautiful reddish copper with a thick white-tan head, mostly lasting. Nice cascading bubbles. Fairly creamy on the palate, the taste is of light roasted malt on the front end. It finishes with clear crisp hop notes. A good, but not great, beer that can pair with a wide variety of foods. Try it with a deli sandwich, chips and a pickle.

16 oz. Bottle with a twist off cap, this beer pours clear until you get to the bottom of the bottle, then, there is a little haze, has a faint amber & gold pour with a one to two finger faint off-white colored head, head lowered pretty quickly to a broken cover and ring, there is a lively stream of effervescence in the center of the glass, left some spotty lacing on the sides of the glass, there were aromas of toasted malt, bread, honey and bread like sweetness, and very faint grassy & floral hops, with flavors of toasted malt, grain, with some sweetness, hops give a little bitterness after the finish, this drink does finish a little dry on the palate, and has a less than medium mouth feel, a nice, tasty beer.

Like the description says, toasty breadiness to the flavor, a rare beer to drink that’s thick and a good session beer.

Amberish orange, smooth dense head. Bubbly carbonation. Smells bready, toasty, and slightly peppery. Mostly malty flavor - bready, touch of caramel. Maybe a little bit of a peppery finish. Pretty run of the mill.

Had this tonight. Smelled like soap (maybe the glass wasn’t washed?), tasted like a safe bet beer. Will not order again.

Bottled. Poured a golden yellow with mild head. Some grassy and malty aromas, hints of caramel to taste, bit of a skunk apres-taste.

Sampled at Great Lakes Brew Fest in Racine, WI. Amber lager in appearance, aroma faint. Pretty light, good malt finish. Not bad but not memorable.

Pours amber with off white head. Aroma is caramel malts and light hopping. Taste is mostly caramel malts, some toasted malts with crisp lager and hop finish. Good, refreshing stuff. Medium body and lacing

Body not quite a full as I would have liked but still a quite decent Vienna lager. Serving: Keg

Tap at the brewery. Pours amber with standard white head. Aroma is light with hints of malt, caramel, and wheat bread. Flavor is biscuit and caramel with a touch of grass. Light body. I forgot about it two seconds later.
