2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: AUG 4, 2004 Light soft sweet and uninspiring. Not an export, more like a very plain continental style lager. Too sweet.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at VT Brewers Fest - Golden yellow in color with a slight whitish head. Aroma is a malty/yeasty mixed in with some hops. Flavor is of small hops and biscuit malt. This is clearly a plain lager and not what they advertise it as and a slightly above average one at that.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: AUG 19, 2005 2004 bottle. Dark yellowish-orange, but very clear with a small off-white head and bubbly. Aroma of dry biscuits as it says, lots of yeast and a very earthy, almost herbal hops appeal. Flavor is meaty, earthy, soily, dry and yeasty. Very strange, not terribly complex at all. It tastes like a spoiled sweetness is present. Not a tremendous rendition of the style, I would class this one as a regular lager if I hadnt known. Lightly fizzy mouthfeel, medium body. eh. . .
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sparkling clear, light golden lager with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention with sparse lacing.
The aroma and flavor are both malty with notes of butterscotch, butter and light herbs.
Decently balanced by the diverse hops. Medium-bodied with a syrupy/sticky mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, bitter-sweet, creamy finish. Good stuff... for a helles.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a medium-dark transparent golden color with a small white head that disappears. Aroma is quite sweet with perhaps a floral note, but it’s a little unusual. A bit malty up front but more dominated by the hops which are actually pretty bitter. Feels very thin. Overall, for a beer named "Lager," this was surprisingly flavorful, but it’s still not great.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer is watered down, just like every other Buzzards Bay beer I've had. Simple taste with little to no head. It's not really worth a try unless you like Buzzards or something.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
clear, golden color, light, fresh hoppy aroma, piney; slightly bitter, hoppy taste, somewhat watery, a refreshing beer, not overly tasty nor aromatic
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pour is a transparent straw with a small quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is faint with traces of spicy yeast. Start is very perfumey, like my great aunt's. Middle is very carbonated with a hoppy bitter finish. I like the finish, but the start is sort of funky.
