3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle. Pours pale, orangey yellow with very little white head. Sweetish malt aroma of bread dough, with a little butter and an odd note of sour lemon. Grassy malt taste with faint lemon and yellow apple, finishing with straw.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours golden lighter amber orange with a decent tan head. The aroma is light sweet and a tad fruity, pleasant, The body is crisp and the flavor brings more bitter malty flavors than sweet with the ending lingering with a lighter wheat like bitterness.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark gold color - almost like an IPA. Nose is a touch of honey, grass, funk. Has a bit of a nutty quality with bready malt. Ok.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 18, 2013 Draft. Lightly hazed gold, effervescent body, thick, patchy lacing. Quiet but clean pilsner malt aroma of toasted grains / bread / crackers; pungent and spicy noble hop aroma of dried fruit rind and dried grasses suggests this is closer to German pilsner than helles, and the light tough of diacetyl that goes well with the quenching minerality, subtle calcium and sulfur yeast character and the savory malt and smacking crispness, I gotta say this is surprisingly good. The balance and acidity of the malt, and the softness too - no coarseness or grain huskiness at all - this is very drinkable. I have no idea if bottles are similar to draft, but if it is, and if I lived in Virginia (which is never going to happen), I would drink this all the time. Seriously decent American-made lager here.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Old Dominion (Dulles Airport, VA). Nice golden body with an average white foamy head. fair malty/hoppy aroma with bready and flowery hints. Its malty/hoppy taste carries bready and herbal notes. Ends with a decent bitter/herbal finish. Good lager.

1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
12oz found for $1.50 on the shelf somewhere. Pours a clear deeper golden to light amber. Thick, nice looking buttermilk head. Not going to lie. Looks good. Solid lacing. Nose is diacetyl, lemon gum drops, medicinal lemon syrup, celery, some DMS vegetals: tomato and cabbage. Taste is diacetyl butter-bomb, not surprised. Very vegetal: cabbage, cauliflower, repulsive all around- old margarine, gas station buffet food, so "overripe" and composted. Palate is faux buttery/dense, some oil. Another complete garbage beer from possibly the worst brewery there is apart from White Birch. This is actually a bit gag inducing, almost impossible for me.

Bottle. Pale clear yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of biscuit and straw. Taste is straw and cereal.
