Lagunitasfan (1290) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 9, 2010
On tap at Escondido location. Horrible. Really, really bad. Pale like almost water in the glass. Burnt malt and hay. Bitter and empty. Bleh.

hopdog (7043) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 7, 2010
On tap at the Orlando location. This was their winter seasonal on tap - I mean really, a watered down pale lager as your winter seasonal? Seriously? Really? Why? Light and slightly hazy yellow. Watered down version and tastes of the blond. I mean, really?

travita (2649) - Frisco, Texas, USA - FEB 9, 2010
Tap in Lewisville. The look is clear, golden in color, and has a white head. The smell is corn, malts, grains, and floral. The taste is corn, malts, and florals. Ok but boring.

DarkBeerChick (155) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - JAN 1, 2010
Very little taste and super flat. Beer flavored water is how I’d describe it. I wouldn’t give this to my dog. Skip this one and go for the Piranha Pale Ale instead...it’s MUCH better.

BarZigKin (510) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - DEC 31, 2009
Draft at Lewisville, TX location. Pale yellow pour that gives you smells of adjunct and hay. Light sweetness with almost no hops. Smooth in the sense that there’s little to pique your interest or taste buds.

mar (3719) - Dallas, Texas, USA - NOV 24, 2009
pale yellow with a white head. sweet malts, metallic grass for aromas. watery palate with a sweet, corn malt flavor and a sweet malt finish.

SamGamgee (2452) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - NOV 16, 2009
Draught at BJs San Jose. Light yellow with a weak head. Light pale malt and mineral aromas. Very light malt flavor with almost no hops and a lightly sweet, grainy finish. watery with prickly carbonation. Clean but pretty bland and seems almost more like a pale lager than a kölsch.

daknole (5853) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - NOV 5, 2009
Scottsdale. Light golden. Lots if bubbles. Cereal grains and faded hops describes the aroma and flavor.

patrick767 (2836) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - OCT 21, 2009
tap at Boulder brewpub - Pours mostly clear yellow with a mild malt aroma. It tastes light and sweet with a touch of hops and a light, bubbly body. Underwhelming but not bad.

troopie (1643) - Munchen an der Willamette, Oregon, USA - OCT 5, 2009
Draught. Poured yellow with a thin white head. Moderate lacing. Slight but pleasant malt aroma, with a bit of hay. Delicate flavour, a little malt, a little bitter hops. Nice crisp finish.
