The Catskill Brewery version of this traditional spring strong lager uses NY State Munich Malts and is hopped with German Hersbrucker on the hot side. Lots going on in this great version - lagered long for extra crispness, this version is not as sweet as traditionally brewed - but still has the caramel-molasses notes and very pleasing assertive bitterness. A fantastic seasonal transition beer at 6.8%.

This one pours a dark-ish brown color, with a small white head, and not much lacing.
This smells like sweet maltiness, dark fruit, breadiness, and a touch of hop character.
This is pretty decent, but it doesn't feel bold enough for the style. I expect a richer maltiness, and this just doesn't quite deliver that. The malt character that *is* there is tasty, it just overall feels a bit muted.
This is medium bodied, not quite creamy or rich enough, with a nice drinkability.
I wanted to like this one a bit more. It was worth a try, but not amongst the best stateside interpretations of this German style.
