2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Very light golden color with minimal head. I'm generally not a fan of lagers, so take this with a grain of salt, but it just doesn't taste or smell good to me. The aroma is slightly skunky and the taste is only slightly better. I don't know if it's supposed to taste or smell like this.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Dullas airport tap. Nice haze on the yellow beer. Small white head. Surprisingly yeasty. The aroma is practically like a witbier, with light herbal and lemon notes. Palate is pretty clean. Has a detectable punch in the middle but the alcohol is generally well-integrated. Is a little thick, yeasty but is easy to drink. Lots of fruits including starfruit and pineapple in the flavors. Also herbal. Has a reasonable degree of complexity. Interesting.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Golden, small white head, light aroma, some malt, slightly malty with a decent hop finish. Nothing overly impressive. just average
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light amber color with a good malty start. Has a hoppy pine-like finish with a dryness in the completion probably attributed to the 7% alcohol.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a light gold with a think white head. Mild hop aroma and lightly toasted malt. Thin mouthfeel. Nice mild hop taste with some lemon zest. A good beer for a spring barbeque.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
When I had this I thought it was a hoppy pilsner. It was quite light colored and had a big head that was long lasting and lacy. It started hoppy but finished smooth and was easy to drink.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Malty, flowery aroma, with hints of clover honey and toasted bread. Light-medium golden color, lacking much of a head. Flavor has a light dollop of sweetness to begin, with an unfamiliar herbal tartness entering about midpoint and blending with a lightly spicy hop bitterness and faintly citrusy fruitiness to become kind of sour by the finish. Light-medium astringency and rather flat on the palate throughout, which I have to believe is not the intended effect. Yes, overall a bit strange and incongruous, and kind of lacking substance at the same time. Perhaps would be better sampled fresh at the brewery.
