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.

Pours a clear golden amber color with a thin half finger fizzy head that quickly fades away into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Sweet malt aroma with hints of caramel along with some subtle hops. Smells kind of bland really. Thin bodied with some slight crisp hop bitterness up front that balances out the sweet caramel malt flavor. Subtle nut presence and a dry finish. Easy to drink but pretty boring.

Pours a clear light amber with a 2 finger, creamy, off white head that has great retention. Aroma is sweet grass, toast, cereal, mineral and some spicy hops. Flavor is strong cereal grain, grass, toasted bread, dry herbs and dry leaves. Palate is lightlish bodied somewhat oily on entry, light carbonation and a fairly neutral finish. Good stuff.

16oz bottle from too long ago. Pours a clear glowing orange amber closer to red with a medium thin bubbly foamy white head. Aroma is nicely spicey and rich, munich malt, malt flour, hint of fruit, cinnamon, a nice smelling marzen. Flavor is same but a tad soapy bitter, some spiciness, nice richness, surprisingly clean with all the nuances of the malt and hops in a wonderful supporting manner, smooth lager, lasting bitterness. Medium bodied, lighter feeling, light carbonation, smooth.

amber pour with a persistent medium head. toasted malt, light caramel with a kind of metallic aroma, Malty medium body with some honey and caramel sweetness and again some kind of tinny bitterness left in the finish.

Bottle courtesy of my Dean (!!!) - thanks, Jeff! Nice deep golden pour, lively and lustrous. Sharp and somewhat spicey aroma, giving the toasted malts a bit of an edge. Mouthfeel is modest, and the beer tastes very clean. Not very sweet at all, which is fine by me, with a fairly dry finish. Solid, average brew but very nice to try it.

A clear amber orange with a foamy off white head. Aroma is toasty, light caramel, a bit metallic. Taste is an ugly toastiness, grainy, husky, astringent, light caramel sweetness.

Tap. Gold/red pour, very minimal head. Very slight aroma of bread and malt. Pretty good flavor thanks to the hops.

Fairly bland offering from Sprecher. Not too much aroma, appearance, taste, palate, or overall goodness. The best thing about this brew is its drinkability.
