"Overall, the beer is a joy of honest and sparkling clean fermentation characteristics that allows blond malt tones to prevail against a delicately balanced hop profile that has nice elements from nose through bitterness, all the way to end-game flavors. This is a really outstanding beer, and in a style that I truly love." - Judge David Sapsis

"This beer is simple, elegant, and expertly balanced, highlighting classic ingredients of light kilned (Vienna, low color Munich) malts and wonderfully floral and spicy continental hops, all packaged up in a crisp and tight lager of modest strength that is both drinkable and complex enough to be savored. It is simply outstanding." - Judge David Sapsis

"Super fresh and clean, nearly perfect. At taste, light and spry on the palate. It is a touch on the sweet side, and a hint more bitterness up front would be great, but it's still super well attenuated and drinkable. Rich and bready while maintaining its lean character. This is nearly as good as anything I've had overseas, and it makes sense that it is a German brewer making this. Fantastic." - Judge Brian Eichhorn

"This beer is very well attenuated and has a dry, cleansing finish that is smooth, crisp and the most refreshing thing you'll drink all summer. It has a medium-light body that possesses a unique texture, making it feel fuller. Despite this beer's clean and neutral character, there is no mistaking it for a macro lager; its subtleties are revelatory." - Judge Jim Koebel
