This medium Bodied, copper colored strong lager is in a class by itself. This brew has a delicate malty palate up front, which is abruptly overshadowed by the by the dominating hop presence that can be attributed to the 1.5 ilbs/bbl. of hops that were added to this brew for aroma & flavor. This is a hop lover's beer indeed.

Pair with lamb, pork, beef with a balsamic reduction, pate, and aged Parmesan cheese.

Tap at Blind Tiger. This brew was money. Poured a deep, dark copper-brown with a moderately dense beige head. Aroma of sweet, German malts. Flavor had a great hop/malt balance, with notes of caramel. Mild bitterness. Straight medium in the body. Pretty clean finish with some lingering candy flavor.
