3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a light brown with little head. Bitter aroma and flavor. It’s a lager!
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear gold with a small white head. Bready aroma with cracked grains and grassy hops. The malt is lightly sweet with a citrusy finish and strong Saaz bitterness. Light bodied but very harsh Sprite-like carbonation. Decent beer aside from the carbonation.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma of cereal, white sugar, light caramel malt and some light apple, grape esters. Appearance is royal gold with white head; carbonation is pretty minimal. Flavor matches the nose, with a light floral hop finish. Palate is creamy, with a lightly cooling mouth feel. A pleasant beer with not too much sparkle, but just well made for the style.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear golden with a nice head. Aorma is big bready pils malt, ligth biscuit and cracker, toast and very light subtle grassy hops. Flavor is toast, light green grassy hops, some slight flowery hops, cracker light husky, clean- fresh stuff- reminds me a bit of victory helles lager. Good stuff.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle from Chevy Chase in DC. Pours a clear bright golden color with a small, fading white head. Pretty nice aroma of pale malt, honey, and slight floral hop notes. The flavor is good for what this is. Sweet pale malt and honey, grain, floral and grassy hops. Crisp and clean with fairly light body. This is good for what it is, not a bad beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Aroma strong of malts. Flavor a little hoppy with some malts. Average texture. Not a bad lager.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Picked up a sixer at Binny’s, Buffalo Grove, IL. Taste is average, grass, hay. Aroma is kinda weak. I thought a product of Bells would be better
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
THOUGHTS: Not bad, but not that much different than a macro. Just more intense flavors and aroma. Not really my cup of tea.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light yellow with a large, slightly off-white head that kept a decent sheet and left fair to good lacing. The aroma had light to moderate light bread; and light to moderate floral and grassy hops. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet and slightly bitter; while the finish was lightly acidic and and moderately to rather bitter with a long duration. The light to medium body was slightly watery and then rather dry with fizzy carbonation and a slightly metallic finish.
