Sampled from bottle. Pours copper-gold with a thick, creamy white head/ Aroma is sweet malts and some grassy hops. Flavor is slightly sweet and dominated by lightly toasted malts. Some grass and metals were also present, but light. Medium-bodied and a bit more gassy than I would prefer. A decent lager. Although I wouldn’t pick up another sixer, I’d certainly have it at a sushi bar where options are usually limited.

Sep 19, 2008 12 oz. Clear copper with a small, lasting disc of foam. Spots of soapy lace. Light aroma of spicy-sweet grain and caramel. Flavors of molasses, toasted nut and dry grain husk with a light orange-apple twang. Light-medium body is a bit watery and fizzy, but very dry. Not great, but very drinkable. Reminds me of some of the fair-to-middlin English bitters.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear amber with off-white head. Aroma has some caramel in it. Flavor isn’t half bad, some malt notes, hints of caramel, some hop flavor with a slight citris tang with a little bitterness in the end, small hint of alcohol. Palate is light body with high carbonation. Over all, not bad....I’d drink another.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle @ Shokitini in Athens, GA. Rather watered down to be called "premium lager." Fortunately this beer gets a boost from a slightly floral aroma and subtle citrusy notes. Thin-bodied. Sweet water. Better than a typical American macro but not really a "craft beer."

May 15, 2008 Pours a clear amber color, with a decent sized white head. Slightly sweet aroma, extra cardboard. Crisp body, stale grains and rice dominate, but is oddly refreshing.
