1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled. Beer is clear, light brown. Head is initially small, white, frothy. Diminishes quickly and mostly.<P>
The aroma is unfortunately husky and dull. It’s malty with moderate notes of very husky toasted grain, moderate notes of cereal/dog chow; Hoppy with light notes of flowers, resin; Yeasty with a light note of dough; Odd blend of alcohol note and floral hop creates a hairspray-like tone.<P>
The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter, lightly-to-moderately acidic with a short, husky, trace bitter finish.<P>
The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear orange color with bubbly off white head that reduced quickly into a lasting foamy top. Aroma is of light malty caramel and cereal grain with skunky/grassy hops. Dry on the tongue. Tastes of skunky hops, hay, and light grain. Mild hop bitterness throughout with a pleasant grainy aftertaste. Reminiscent of Heineken, Grolsch, and other pale Euro beers, but better.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: DEC 29, 2006 Bottle. Poured clouly yellow, with not much head. Very little nose and what there is is of hops and grain. Watery mouthfeel. Flavor is very mild. Not much to this. This may be traditional but that doesn’t make it a good brew. Update: Had a second bottle of this. This time I drank it first, instead of following an IPA which may have spoiled the comparison. Feel a little beter about it this time. Actually faiirliy decent drinking beer. I am raising the rating to better represent what I think is a fair assesment.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden color. Not to much aroma, a littl ebit of bitterness. Clean, bitter finish, nice mouthfeel for a "small" beer. Has all of the traditional bitter qualities. Slightly fruity, yet malty with a clean bitter aftertaste. I enjoyed this beer and its great that its low in ABV, can have something else afterwards.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
This stuff is horrible. Terrible aroma of water and grains. Light brown appearance. The palate is watery thin. The taste is watery and grainy. This ranks right up there with Miller Light in my book.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at beerbistro. Vibrant golden-amber with a large, fluffy white head. Light aroma of grain and hay, with faint malt sweetness - reminded me of a middle-of-the-road European lager. Body is light and refreshing. Flavour is light and balanced, with some grainy malt, a hint of sugar cookie, and a mild, quick hop finish. OK for what it is, but I paid way too much for it. Seriously, you really don’t want to know how much it cost me... it’s embarassing...
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice clear golden-amber with a small off-white head. Light, sweet aroma of malts, maybe some bread and caramel. Well-balanced flavor, some biscuitiness and more hop flavor than I expected. Body is pretty thin; not much of a finish. This reminds me a lot of Sam Adams Light, only with more flavor (and less alcohol). For what it is, this is pretty good. Nothing great, but not bad. It does lose some points for having such a low ABV, though.
