L: Pours a burnished Golden orange color with a medium white head that dissipates quickly.

S: Toasted bread, a malty sweetness with a hint of apple and some noble hops. Reminiscent of a Oktoberfest type beer.

T: Toasted bread, sweet malt with a hint of apple and a lighter hop running through. Very enjoyable.

F: Smooth easy drinking.

O: Very enjoyable lager.

Pours an effervescent gold with a thumb of ivory colored head. Stays effervescent, nice head retention & lacing

S: Corny, a little grassyness

T: Grassyness, limes, dryness, & cornyness up front. Dryness, cornyness & grass & a little lime as this beer warms up. Finishes dry, grassy & corny

MF: Medium body, lively carbonation, too sweet

A chore to finish. All future ones will be consumed ICE cold. Not a fan of this style & this is disappointing even for it. The legit hops used in it seem wasted in this, perhaps, just too few?

Canned 3/12/24; drank 5/2/24 @ the Yarchives.

See-through dark orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big, noisy eggshell-colored head; strong, frothy lacing remained.

Sweet corn & faint skunk spray notes in the nose.

Creamy medium mouthfeel.

Honeyed wheat bread, corn & the faintest pine finish.

Sweet and a bit heavy. It's drinkable but I don't love it.

12 oz can from the Bavarian variety pack pkgd 3/12/24 into a Becker.
L: SRM 3.5 Pours light honey clear amber with good steady carbo bubbles, a thin white head that moves to thick edge foam and a thin skin, loose random lacing.
S: Fairly malty, a distant herbal hop note, light apple, a hint of pear.
T: Moderate caramel malts, bright herbal hops, light apple & pear, gently bitter then at the very end of the finish a subtle sweet malt note returns. It has a light earthiness to it and is clean tasting.
F: Lightly crisp & bright with a medium-fast lightly drying finish.
O: It is Germanic tasting overall, is refreshing and is easy to drink. A nice offering from a brewery that concentrates on NEIPAs. I'd like to try this Lager on tap. It is very good in its style.
