Commercial Description:
A delicate balance of toasted malt and fresh hops give this medium-bodied German style lager an intriguing complex flavor. A creamy head, deep golden color and an impressive hop bouquet make this a very special beer.

Pours bright copper-orange with a moderate head. The aroma is sweet, with roasted malt. There’s a hint of fruit. The taste is sweet malt with some graininess. A small bit of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is thin and over-carbonated.

Bottle. Goodbar Beer Club. Nose is honey & hot dogs w. mustyness. Odd to say the least. Flavor is caramel , some noble hop, toffee. Somewhat cloying with a bunch of honey in the finish.

Bottle purchased at Corral Liquors, in Granite City, IL. Pours a slightly hazy amber-orange with a thin, creamy, off-white cap. The nose is a muted, lightly toasted malt with a subtle fruity hop note in support. Light to medium-bodied and slick, the mouthfeel transitions to a lightly grainy and mildly dry finish. Sweet and fruity toasted malt with a light hop bite. A decent, quaffable session brew, but following Brooklyn Lager, it pales by comparison.

16oz Bottle. Pours a dark amber/orange with a nice, white, lingering head that laces very nicely. Aroma is mainly sweet malts with a hint of hop presence but nothing super notable. The flavor comes in sweet in the front with a bit of bitter at the end. So I guess that makes it fairly balanced. :) I do feel that there could be a little more to the flavor, it’s a fairly "safe" beer, however, it’s not bad.

A quality amber lager. Looks a bit better than the flavor that I got. Pours a gorgeous copper color with a puffy white head. Very nice. Aroma is decent, though not quite as floral as a top Vienna, like a Sam Boston Lager. A bit over bittered on the back of the palate. Enjoyable, but not one of the best. Would definitely order again, if given the opportunity.

This beer pours a very nice amber colour with a medium sized off white head. Pleasent amount of sweet roasted malted flavors and a moderate amount of hops in the finish. Nutty, soft caramel, and subtle hops in the finish.
