Though fuller bodied than most lagers, this is a true American Lager- stored cold, or "lagered", in our brewery until it has reached perfection. This beer is defined by its crisp, clean flavor, caramel color and refreshing bitter notes.

Aroma is grainy malts and slightly funky perfumed fruit. The flavor is grainy malts, proprietary yeast, citrus, fruit/berries and a dryish/slightly tart finish.

Thanks to match1112 for the BIF beer.
Pours a medium orange amber, quite hazy, with one finger of off-white head. Good retention and lacing. Doesn't exactly look like a pale lager to me, so I'm not sure if the BA style is accurate. Darker and much cloudier than I'd expect, which has me intrigued. What is this beer?
Smell is faint, grassy (on the malts and hops, I think), with a pronounced lager yeast snap. Also has a very light musty melony aroma, like a hint of Belgian yeast. Interesting. Still not sure what this thing is.
Tastes like... a beer. Having a hard time pinning anything down. It's definitely crisp, and clear-flavored, by which I mostly mean unflavored. It takes a long time before the grains hit me, and they're followed by just a touch of spicy herbal hops. Then that odd musty character again. But everything I'm describing has to be drawn out, like a fisherman drawing on in on line that's a little too light.
Feel is good. Medium-light body, feels fluffy but has a bit of weight. Carbonation is a steady buzz, picking up right when it hits my mouth, and not dropping off until the flavor does. Gently drying, and crisp in the finish. The best part of the beer, IMO.
Not bad, but not great. Doesn't have a whole lot of flavor, of any kind. Quite sessionable, but somewhere in between refreshing and flavorful. Needs something - oomph, better balance, just something.
