Amber color. Medium-sized, white head. Aroma of caramel malt and floral hops. Sweet, malty taste with light, hoppy bitterness. Decent lager.

Pours amber with a thin head, delic smell, roasts Carmel notes, bready, crisp carbonation with a sweet finish. Very good lager, enjoyed very much

For an amber lager this one is superb. Not generally a style I look for but it really nails it well across all rating attributes. Aroma is bready and nutty and taste is smooth, with some slight malt roast and sweetness on the subtle side with hip crispness in the finish. Very old school 1990’s craft standard style but done very well.

Very attractive clear amber gold color with white cap.
Aroma of caramel like malt with just a whiff of floral hops.
Malt forward on entry with a definite sweetish cast. Brewer lists Munich, Vienna and wheat malts resulting in a deeper flavor with a touch of sweet. Hops are only lightly present, 11 IBU, and I don't know what they are, but when used at this level I suppose it doesn't matter much.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
Just enough above average to be called above average but if I lived in the distribution area I would certainly buy some.

Tap at the brewpub.
Mostly clear golden almost color with a decent white head. Some bready pilsner comes through as well as a touch of fruitiness and light floral and spice. I think I get a touch of butterscotch but its not enough to distract too much. Decent lager.
