Pours gold with a small head. Nose is clean but shows a fair bit of sweet malt with bready hints showing later. There’s a hint of floral spicy hops but they’re pretty muted. Flavours are pretty much the same, lots of sweet malt with hardly any hops to restrain it. Not bad but not what I was expecting. too much carbonation (although it does well to cut the sweetness). Very light body.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2010 tried at the brewery. decent lager, nice and crisp with enough citrus to keep it interesting

Clear golden colour. Thick white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of wheat and bread. Malty bread flavour, but surprisingly pleasant. Leaves that bready aftertaste, which nobody likes. It’s not a terrible beer - but geez it needs work.

Simple beer that doesn’t really cut the mustard. Light bodied lager with a very mild ginger and citrus twang, the former seemingly driving quite a drk sour character in the flavours that I wouldn’t really describe as positive. Fizzy and non-descriptive finish.

Spicy hop malt aroma. Clear yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Bitter hop malt flavour. Fizzy palate.
