12oz bottle acquired in trade with cbkschubert (thanks!). Poured a lighter and slightly cloudy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of grain and toasted malts. Tastes of grain, toasted malts and a light citrus finish. Thin body.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle thanks to cbkschubert: Pours a clear bright golden with a wispy lacing thin white head. Aroma of mild pale malty grain and a touch of noble hops. Body starts with a faint touch of sweetness before being balanced by a crisp earthy bittering hoppy presence and a clean finish. Very true to style and something that would make for a good transition beer for someone who is used to BMC stuff.

Thanks to cbkschubert for this one. Pours turbid dark straw with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is grainy pale malt, hops, some honey. Tastes pale malty, with some mid-palate hopcitrus and finishing honey sweetness. Not a bad lager at all.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a pale yellow color, no head or lacing. The nose is light and toasty with some malts and a big crispy yeast and hop note. The flavor is sweet and balanced, nice toasty hop body and mouthfeel. A zesty finish and a nice aleish quality in the tail. Very good hoppy lager.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light gold color. Small white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, with a touch of wood. A medium bodied lager. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are fairly bitter and grapefruity. This beer is more of an ESB or a pale ale than a lager. Nicely balanced. Smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured up on tap at Dave’s Electric brewpub with deep clear gold and a white head. The aroma is sweet with a mix of biscuit malts, some lagery yeast, a touch of grainy malts and a sense of sweet raspberry. Hmmm. The taste has spicy hops mixing with a raspberry like esteriness and faint earthy hops. It stays on the hop spicy side into the finish.
