Yellow with a thin, white ring and fluid lace.
Slightly funky buttered popcorn and sweet juniper perfume the glass.
This is a hoppy lager for sure. Corn and bready malt come first, then a moderate amount of hops attributing a grape-like flavor to this beer, and not bringing in a ton of bitterness.
GSD is supremely frothy and soft.

I tried this on tap at Warwick hotel, served chilled in a pint.
The color is golden with light hazed look with white head with rings of lace clinging and fine bead. The smell has a light yeast up front with toasted grain and slight sweet adjunt aroma with malt esters and subtle alcohol. The feel is mildly malty with a texture that is semi-dry with moderate alcohol incluence and slight sweetness of corn with mild spice aspect and semi-dry finish.
The taste has a very light tasting yet nice mix of malt in that it is not heavy with sweetness and light spice with gentle grain flavor from corn adding with a subtle alcohol flavor to the middle with slight earthiness which doesn't seem to quit only a mild amount of alcohol as it finishes dry. Overall a very high quality adjunct strong lager, just the beast as far as subtle and strong -doesn't even resemble malt liquor
