ucusty (1865), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Oct 14, 2009 Sample at city wide in S. Bend. Hazy copper pour fluffy off white head and spotty lace.. Light citrus and grassy notes. Dry lemongrass finish daknole (2800), Plantation, Florida, USA Jan 9, 2009 Updated: Jan 10, 2009Wow a lager I actually enjoyed for a change. Slightly cloudy pour with a small head. Yeasty and citrus hit the nose. The flavor is tart, refreshing and almost a bit funky. Very interesting take on a worn out boring style. Cheers. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 10, 2008 A very nice change of pace. Sweet bready notes with some herbal hoppiness. Light to medium bodied and very well balanced. Very clean with a bitter citrusy finish. Cletus (4999), Connecticut, USA Apr 8, 2008 Pours a hazy copper with a generous white head. Smells lightly citrussy with some nice straw and hay elements. Tastes tangy and lemony with a lot of grassy notes. Nice dry finish. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Mar 14, 2008 Bottle thanks to Mike! Poured clear, brighter golden with a tall, foamy cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up soft, sweet bready notes accented by pinches of grassy hops and lemon zest.. well-balanced and well-presented. The flavor had a sweet biscuit and pale malty backing with high levels of herbal bitterness and the aforementioned lemon zest.. the spicy, tart finish was very refreshing. Lighter-bodied, well-balanced, and refreshing. I could drink a lot of this over the summer. iowaherkeye (1832), Bakersfield, California, USA Mar 11, 2008 12oz bottle, no date. Clear yellow golden with an ample two finger fluffy barely off-white head, great retention. Biscuity malts with some sugar cookie up front with a little bit of earth and zesty citrus hops in the background to keep it from getting sweet. Unsalted saltine crackers show up after this warms minimally. Flavor is more earthy with no sugar cookie presence--it seems to be all biscuits and saltines. Earthy bitterness lingers in the dry finish and peaks at a 3-4 at the back corners of my tongue. Overcarbonated--the beer just foams in my mouth and takes away from the flavor--with a medium body. It started out great, but went downhill after the aroma. mcox90 (617), Wilton, USA Mar 11, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of BBB63. Pours a yellow golden straw color with a 2 finger white frothy head. Good amount of lacing rings my pint glass. Nose is grains & hops. Taste is grainy & biscuit like. Clean, fresh & dry mouthfeel. Finish is hoppy & bitter. I’m not usually a lager guy , but this wasn’t bad at all. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 7, 2008 clear yellow color with fluffy white head. aroma is grainy and sweet. flvor is hoppy and grainy, and the finish is bitter. a pretty good beer, but not a great beer.
