I expected an overpriced fancy-bottled pale lager with little character, but I was completely wrong. Rich deep amber colour, thick head delivering good lace. Terrific aromas of grassy hops and-- best of all!-- noticable malt. The same is found on the palate in excellent balance, with a nice mouthwatering bitterness and a crisp finish. Maybe it is because my expectations were so low, but I would recommend this and have it again happily! Boutip (2408), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 3, 2005 Bottle: Poured a ginger-ale color lager with large bubble and a medium head with average retention. Very strange looking beer. Aroma of malt and crisp hops is clearly identifiable and no trace of skunk even though green bottle had to travel 3000 miles. Taste is quite refreshing with very fresh and crisp hops. Easy to distinguish from a pale lager and quite refreshing . Stew41 (1059), Caulfield, Australia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 27, 2005 Bit of a surprise this one.....probably because I thought it was a pale larger. Nice crisp style, pilsner style coming into play, but filled out with decent malt weight. Although this is a simple beer it’s a great example of crisp, thirst quenching texture well matched with noticable malts. JonMoore (1562), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England
