I had this on tap at the Abbey bar at the Harrisburg brewery, served cool in a pint glass.

A - a golden lager w brilliant clarity and a full inch of bone white capping the beer. The head clings as lace in a thick coating and sticks to the glass well.

S - Lightly malty w/ slight yeasty lager aromas, not much else going on, but perhaps a few herbal hop whiffs.

M - Nice, smooth and subtly sweet w/ a crisp light feel, very refreshing w/ a clean finish. The effervescence is moderate w/ a slight creamy quality.

T - Very nice malt w/ german character and light spice w/ a dry quality. Nice and smooth w/ a clean finish.

D - A very easty beer to quaff. This lager is made to appeal to BMC drinkers I suppose, yet has flavor enough and quality malt flavor that is interesting when you have more than 1. This is crisp and refreshing w/ easy drinking sessionability. It is sweet enough and something I might ordinarily shy away from, but it was a nice complement to my chesapeake chicken as sort of a palate cleanser. This lager is above average to me.

Had on tap. Brown cloudy body with a white ring and lazy lacing. Grains, grass, biscuit malt, and earthy hops, no typical springy aromas for style. Taste is bland up front and harshly grainy and bitter on the backend, flavors clash and leaves a repugnant bitter and harsh grain note on the finish. Feel is broken down before harsh notes, bland malts and watery body, finish is not artful or springy like style should. Misses the mark
