Formerly "Alpine Spring".

Hazy and golden. This unfiltered lager is a breath of fresh air. The crisp maltiness and lively citrus notes transport you to brisk sunny days out in the mountains.

Malts: Samuel Adams two-row pale malt blend, honey malt and wheat malt.
Hops: Tettnang Tettnanger Noble hops and Mandarina hops.

IBU: 18

Not their best offering. There is IPA good bitter and there is nasty bitter and this leans the latter. Look is mediocre and mouthfeel is OK, but the best and almost good part of this is the herbal smell. Sadly, the taste is not following the smell. Can't recommend.

Not a bad beer. I believe this one came in a Sam sampler. Crisp and medium bodied, it went down well. Definite ready aroma with a nice citrusy hop finish. I'd drink this one again.

The pour is honey colored with a moderate amount of carbonation. The taste is pine, grains, mild hops, mild citrus, & mild honey. Furthermore, this beer style is starting to grow on me. Cheers! B

Hazy gold body with an average size white head and light lacing. Aroma has a biscuit-like edge along with flowery, spicy hops. Taste is moderately sweet up front while the hop profile becomes more intense after a few sips. Maybe a little sharper than a German pils but still clean and crisp. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied, well carbonate mouthfeel.

L: 3.5. Nice coloration. Deep gold borderline bronze body with a lingering head. Moderate haze.
S: 3.75 plenty to pick up. Dark Bread. Caramel. Hops.
T: 3.75. Like Boston Lager, this is hoppy and has a nice malty bite. Flavor is maybe a tad brighter than boston lager.
F: 3.5. Medium mouthfeel. Nice for a cool evening.
O: 3.5. So this one surprised me. It's a decent lager. Worth a try.
