This full bodied malty lager has a copper color and is hopped and dry hopped with German Hallertau hops giving it a pleasant, spicy hop aroma that's just right for the season. 24 IBU Color 12 SRM.

Clear copper pour with an airy white head. Aroma of light toasted malt. Taste follows the nose but also has some biscuit, caramel and light earthy hop flavors. Light bodied and finishes crisp.

16oz draft pour into a pint glass. A new copper colored body floats little to no head, just an off white cap with lacing.
Aromas are diminated by a subtle bready malt.
Malt flavors are joined by light caramel and slight hops.
Clean mouthfeel lacks the creaminess I expected. Not quite to style, but it's good.
