Jun 14, 2008 Golden-orange in colour, thin off-white coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is floral, lemon citrus, turning a bit sour. The flavour is of sour citrus, light sweetness comes and goes. Sour mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes watery, more sourness.

Oct 31, 2007 355ml bottle that I had to buy a 6-pack to get. Clear bottle? What? Floaters? What? No way. Pours into my lager glass as purely head at first? WHAT? Oh come on! Aromas of HOPS, frightening memories of brooklyn lager start coming back. First try, must have been a bad bottle, it tasted sour and infected. I’ll try another. AHHHH! Same thing! Sickening plastic flavour with an even more sickening sweet and sour bite/aftertaste! This is on the level of Trafalgar’s infected crap! WHAT THE HELL DID THEY MAKE THIS OUT OF!??!?! I’M SO ANGRY! I’m a starving student! I can’t just blow my money away like this! Y’Aaaaarrg! Why is this even listed as a dortmunder/helles!??!?! Gimme my 11.50 back you crooks! AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGG!!

Oct 30, 2007 355ml clear bottle. Pours very hazy gold. Faint white head. Aroma is sweet, a lot of fruitiness, a touch of honey. Flavour was both floral and fruity, lemony hop cuts through the malt. Malts are a bit bready/toasty. Aftertaste is citrusy and grassy. Interesting.

Aug 6, 2007 On tap @ the brewery - Besides being nice guys, the fellows at Taps make a great premium lager. Sampled on a visit to Virgil, and I was very impressed! Nice amber colour with a thick, creamy head. Malts create a substantial presence in the mouth, and the dry-tasting hops give this a lot more character than most lagers I’ve come across. Tastes more like an ale than a lager, but the mellowness is there. Picked up a 6-pack for the family to try, and it was gone quickly! Would definitely get this one again.
