3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 JohnnyRio (29) - FINLAND - OCT 13, 2011
Nice amber color with rather good head.
Has flowers and citrus, or cascade, on nose.
Taste has also citrus, with some bready malt combining to notes of caramel and slightly piney to herbal hops. Good, crisp bitter ending.
Very good for vienna, like pale-ale with lager yeast. refreshing.

Bottle. Pale golden yellow with a decent white head. Fizzy with a nice hop present. Lager yeast dominates. As far as lagers go, this is a good un’.

I gotta say, I am impressed, great hoppy bitterness and a sharp taste to it, well carbonated and crisp, flowery, and a clean finish. Nice malt backbone as well, solid beer from start to finish, I highly recommend it.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 shoulderbroken (357) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 7, 2011
Pours golden coloured from the bottle with small white head. Smell is slightly creamy malty, bit toffee. Taste is very smooth with caramel elements. Slight bitterness and gives just a little bit of a prickle in the mouth. Very drinkable.

A: The pour is a light amber color with about a finger of white head.
S: Starts off with quite a bit of toast and bread. Just a sweet malt profile overall. There are some floral hops and a mild grass note. The necessary lager yeast aroma is present, as are some mild esters.
T: Things don’t deviate much on the palate. Sweet toast and bread malt flavors with a bit of a toffee note. Minimal bitterness with floral and grassy hop flavors. A few fruit esters give a bit of depth.
M: Light to medium in body with a medium carbonation.
O: Sort of an ubiquitous beer on the East Coast, it seems. I found it to be pretty enjoyable.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Scottrf (93) - Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 1, 2011
Far more hoppy than most lagers.
Great flavour, well but not overcarbonated.
Easy to drink, with more flavour than standard lager, good beer.
