I purchased a 6 pack from Consumer Beverage here in Buffalo, NY...almost as fresh as getting it from the brewery.

The appearance throws me off a bit: a hazy, golden color with a fizzy white head. Hazy? Isn't a lager supposed to be crystal clear because of the longer fermentation?

The smell is good, your typical lager: fruity notes from the yeast, sweet malt, sulfur notes which is appropriate to style.

The mouthfeel is a strenth in this beer, solid medium, creamy smoothness. The head disipated quickly so I was concerned it was undercarbonated but that is not the case, its balanced nicely.

The flavor starts with fruitiness from the lager and malt and finishes with a little dryness from the alcohol and just enough german hops to balance things out.

This beer is to style, it is a tasty drinkable german lager. It is highly sessionable and appropriate in any setting.

A nice clean lager from Flying Bison. Normal pour, golden body with small foamy white head.Mild but pleasant flavor, without being overbearing. A notch above the mass market American lagers

Pale yellow appearance with a large, billowy white head and a fair amount of lacing. Muted aroma; malty, a bit herbal. Light to medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Smooth, malty taste; some hops are detectable but not prominent. Short lived finish.

Drinks large for a lager. I find it to be a great campfire beer, whatever that means. I generally don't like lagers at all, but this one is pretty good. Worth a taste, and I'm surprisingly not too disappointed that it was in the mixer pack.

It's a pretty good lager. Reminds me of a light bodied schwarzbier. Call me crazy, but I get hints of peanut butter.

Edit. Meh, nothing special.

Had on tap. Crystal clear golden yellow with a sudsy white lacing and lacing. Smells of white bread with tons of sweet cereal grains and macro malts. Taste also fits this pattern: unreasonable sweet, hint of grass on the finish as it warms gives it something to hang its hat on. Feel is bloated macro, smooth, grainy, and sweet. For the style it fits but it is not technically done well, kind of watery
