A classic grist of Vienna, Pilsner, and Munich malts and a dose of noble hops come together to create an easy-drinking full-bodied malty lager with an inviting deep golden hue.

16oz can from Tavour. Foggy golden pour, light foamy head settles out to fine patches. Sweet, grainy aroma, honey. Taste is sweet, bready, some mild bitterness. Not sure if there is honey in this, but it sure tastes like it.

Incredible malt flavors. Mouthfeel is superb. Feels alittle high in alcohol, but inappropriate of style.

On tap, pours a very slightly hazy coppery-amber. Big smell and taste, with toasty, nutty grains and a nice hit of hops to balance. Pleasant bitterness in finish. Good body. Delicious beer.

Cloudy amber pour with with a standing tall off-white head. Legit German style maibock that brings grain, caramel and honey flavors through with a sturdy body and smooth mouthfeel. Kind of straddles the line nicely between sweet and dry. Solid as a rock maibock.

A: Rich dark orange/light caramel color. Clear as a ninety year old's vision with the wrong glasses; it's cloudy to say the least. Large and mushrooming foam head that isn't quite uniform; excellent retention exceeding 5 min.
S: Light cereal grain with strong-moderate honey sweetness.
M: Soft mineralization and med body. Carbonation is superfine, so it tastes smooth but isn't dry-crisp. Bitterness from hops lends to a lightly dry finish.
T: Big left hook of honey-caramel sweetness. Cedar tinged floral orange blossom. Lavender, biscuit, and a building spice; hints of smoke. This comes across like some specialty cocktail with a honey-doused rim; the maltiness and bitterness both just seem to ramp each other with a medicinally sweet finish minimizing the drinkability.
