bottle from linus_stick: pours a small cloudy but bright yellow straw colour with a large pure whtie faomy head. lots of tiny bubbles. aroma is light withsome graininess and very little sweet malt, hints of fossil fuels and very little hops. flavour has lots of grains and a bitter taste from a very small amount of floral hops, some corn like flavour and pretty watered down beer. not to good.

Aug 4, 2008 [1280-20080410] 12floz bottle. Fresh sweet floral yeast aroma with fresh veggies and cooked carrots. Clear, yellow body with a big foamy white head. Strange paint pucks flavour with sweet yeast notes. Medium body. Weeeeird, not in a pleasant way.

Aug 3, 2008 Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma is floral and spicy hops to go along with malt sweetness. The taste is refreshing with grainy Munich like malts. Notes of floral and spice hops mixing with a citrus lemon undercurrent grow as the finish approaches. It ends try and tart.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle courtesy sebletitje (aka Sea Bass). Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of floral hops and pilsner malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Good.

Jul 20, 2008 (Bottle brought back from the East Coast by a friend). Pours thinnish head that goes away pretty fast. Light yellow colored body. Fine group of bubbles coming up from the middle of the glass, otherwise doesn’t appear to have a great amount of carbonation to it. Has a nice aroma similar to a germanic pilsner. Very hoppy flavor of traditional german hops. Could be catagorized as a Marzen in my book. Hops linger on the palate.

Jul 17, 2008 Clean yellow pour beneath an overactive fountain of foam. It essentially poured froth, though it didn’t really gush over. Paper, pine, lemon curd, honey and minerals in an earth hued aroma. Softly bitter, and smooth, hiding a jagged roughness of grain quite with relative ease. Flavor is crisp and refreshing, with lots of musty, strawlike hallertau bitterness and minty hop leaves. Softest dusty phenols and esters of fruity stripes. Wholesome lemony sweetness and white breads. Light palate is punchy and bone dry, finishing on straw and distant sugars. Far from plain, and pleasant in its own way. Thanks Chris!
