Notes / Commercial Description:
Check out a piece of Nashville brewing history! Gerst Brewery was the original Nashville brewery, but never recovered after prohibition. We are excited to partner with the Chandler Family, owners of the Gerst Haus Restaurant, to bring this beer back right where it belongs – Nashville, Tennessee.
This is a very “clean” beer, with mostly German malts and a hint of flaked maize, remaining as true as possible to the original Gerst recipe.

Not a lot going on with this one to me , its a easy drinker but honestly I'd rather just have a cheap macro if I want an easy drinker..
Local brew and I love yazoo but this one is just not my style.

A solid, enjoyable brew. Not my favorite by any means, but I do love the history of this beer.
It is very crisp, clean, and lets the malts speak for themselves.

Amber; head dissipated quickly. "Old school beer" from the aroma right through to the taste. Has a great mouth feel with nice malt flavors. Easy drinking.

Got this in a trade. Poured from a 12pz bottle into a pint glass. Nice light amber color with two fingers of head which dissipated quickly. Has an "old school" beer aroma which follows through to the taste. Has a great mouth feel (stop-don't go there). Nice malt flavors with a bit of Euro water taste. I could have easily stolen this from my fathers beer fridge a couple decades ago. All day drinker.

This beer was honestly pretty boring. Nothing to write home about. Not bad flavor but just tasted like nothing special. Probably won't want to buy it again.
Personal rating: 5/10
