It poured a cloudy, gold color with a small, quickly fading, white head. It was crisp. It was light in both hops and maltbut balanced. It left a mild aftertaste. Pleasant

Pours gold with a fine, minor head. Aroma is caramelly sweet with a strong malt presence. Sweet pear-like flavor with strong qualities of caramel and a fair hop aftertaste.

12 oz. bottle via trade with tronraner - Pours a clear light golden color with a medium size white head. Light carbonation. No lacing. The aroma is slightly skunky with a hint of grain. I dont mind the skunk, but I dont think its cool for this style of beer. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain and herbal hops. Light to medium body. A decent beer. Thanks Joe.

Draught at the World Beer Festival in Durham, NC. Clear golden color. Not much nose, maybe a bit of hops and sugar. Slightly sweet with fruity/malty undertones.

Bottle. Bright yellow with white head that fades quickly, and lots of rising carbonation. Not much nose-- some light grainy malt and faint grassy hops present. Pleasant carbonation makes for a creamy, medium-light body with a nice fresh grain flavor and clean, slightly sweet finish. Really not bad at all, refreshing on a humid day.

Not great, but not offensive either. It’s easy to drink, but it’s not very interesting either.

Bottle. I thought this beer was an ale, but the bottle says "Genuine Pilsner style"?? Topaz color with small, creamy and lasting head. Aroma is mild; hard to pinpoint anything other than slightly sweet malt, with some mild citrus hops? Doesn’t smell or taste like a lager, must be an ale. Palate is light and dry, and has a slightly sweet-sour grainy aftertaste. Not exciting, but not bad. Finally has some malt if you use all your Superbeerman senses to find it. For the beer-lover, a good choice if nothing else but Fudd or Duff is available. Also a recommended industrial substitute if you’re in a quality beer place with someone who’s scared of good beer.

Good and tasty, light and airy. Pretty good for a hot Carolina day. Slight sweetness, light beer taste.

Smooth, honey and apple like flavor. Not too strong, but nice none the less.
