Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 26, 2002 Amber; light malty aroma; soft malty palate. Uninteresting. argo0 (6167), Washington DC, USA Apr 9, 2002 Beautiful copper colored beer, looks like an ale, at least until you get the smell of those German hops. The flavor is as advertised, a solid german lager, the hops and malts balancing nicely. the finish feels dry, and the german hops bitterness remains in the back of my throat for a good long while. All in all, a very nice rendition of a lager. CaptainCougar (4633), Rockville, Maryland, USA Dec 18, 2003 Pours a clear copper with decent carbonation and a half inch off-white head. Bland stale malty lager aroma, but true to style. Body has some light dry caramel and peat malt character with a hint at fruit toward the bittering finish. Has good complexity for a lager, but could still use a little more balance. muzzlehatch (4425), Burlington, Vermont, USA Feb 25, 2004 12 oz bottle, courtesy of Tidiaguy. Deep golden color, foamy head. Nice malty/bready aroma. Sweet, very full-bodied for a lager, some smoky hints, light lemon zestiness near the end, aromatic piney hoppiness appears, a well-constructed if unspectacular lager. JPDIPSO (4217), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Jul 24, 2004 Lightly hazed amber color witha smallish beige head. Caramel malt and mild perfume hops in the aroma. Hearty thick malt flavors of dry caramel and rye. Light acidic finish. Long deep malt linger. I envision this is what a lager in pre-pro days was like.
