UPDATED: AUG 28, 2021 This new brewery is close to where I work and live. I was very happy to see a NEW brewer focusing on GERMAN beers and NOT the goofy, OVERHOPPED USA 'craft' mess of IPA wannabes. THANK YOU!!! This beer is definitely German in its flavor, look and aroma. There may be a little hops, which is good for beer, but this is securely malty and 'sweet' (as the hops craftie nitwits like to say) in its taste. A good beer that tastes like a beer and does NOT taste like 'pine cones, nutmeg and pumpkin' like all the USA craftie crap does. Thank you Ironshield!!

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2021 Pours clear amber with a nice eggshell head. Aroma features crisp fresh malt plus hints of apple and honey. Flavor gives crisp malt, sweet apple, honey and caramel undertones. Texture provides good body and peppy fizz. All hail the Seven.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2021 Great color. Very clear, very rich dark amber. Similar backbone as the Helles, but without the citrusy notes and more nutty/caramel notes. Really nice beer.
