Commercial Description:
A pale golden German ale with subdued, clean-tasting malt flavor and aroma. This is a beer from the "old" brewing tradition before lagers become popular. Fermented at a lower temperature than normal ales, and followed by several weeks of cold lagering.

hazy golden color with little aroma. Clean flavor, was a bit drier than European kolsches but a nice summer drink. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008

On draught at brewer. Pale golden pour that leaves light ring lace. There is some sweetgrass in the nose. Unfortunately, the cloying corn predominates this, and makes the mouthfeel way too heavy for the style. Very processed and overdone.

Straw-blonde with light cream head. Sugary aroma and cloying sweetness in flavor with some mildewiness.

Pours a lightly hazy golden with an average creamy white lacing head. Aroma of grass, lemon and some grains. Flavor of a touch of lemon, Cherrios, grass and light hops.
