Manchester, CT location.
Clear golden blond, with a small ring of head.
Very sweet aroma, with a lagery smell, and a hint of esters. I'm having trouble placing what kind of style this beer is. It's kind of a cross between an ale and a lager.
Way too estery for a lager, but with a distinct lager cleanness, particularly the hops. Carbonation is mild, with a very sweet malty finish. Hops come through nice and sharp in the aftertaste. Very sweet, with only very light bitterness. Ummm...I'm guessing this is a Maibock, made with top fermenting yeast? Did they screw something up during fermentation?

Aimed at the Vienna style lager IMO, Brilliant clarity with a deep golden colour. Light toasted maltiness and a complex grape skin flavour from the Munich malt. Hops are balancing and play back and forth with the bready maltiness. This is the kind of lager I could sit down with all night long.
