Scubatrip (313), Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA Nov 2, 2005 From the bottle, pours a clear, pale golden color with a bubble white head that stays around the edges. Smells like bad grass and bad blueberries. Very carbonated and bubbly on the tongue. I can’t quite put a finger on the taste, but it’s lightly fruity, lightly floral. Whatever the bland taste, it isn’t bad.

cheapdark (1547), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 11, 200812 oz bottle for $3 from D’s in Regent Square. On the front it says pale golden lager but this does not describe the unfiltered glory contained within. This stuff pours like a quality unfiltered wheat beer, with gunk on the bottom and all. What a swirling light brownish show. Beautiful attractive sweet aroma. The girl on the front is definitely german and she looks like my wife. The aroma of this is hardtack candy sweet, like sweet fruity candy canes. Wow, has a really good flavor impact. This lends itself to a slight bitterness on the finish of each swig. However, it does not build, it is mild and controlled. Unlike many beers, who’s aroma does not match the flavor, this does. I really like this brew, a brew that I was not particularly interested in buying! Never judge a book by it’s cover. Almost as good as Lowenbrau, possibly better because of the appearance. Would not hesitate to buy again. Way better than Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold and Victory V Lager.
kkearn (611), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 21, 2007 bottle. Pale golden, with a thick white head. Malty aroma with wheat and orange zest. Fairly sweet, bready, yeasty, with mild hops. Malty finish. Refreshing, but otherwise nothing special. Enniskillen (1542), Port Angeles, Washington, USA Mar 24, 2007 Gusher. Peach color, with white head. Aroma is citrus, pale malts, a bit sour... skunked? Taste is cardboard, and off, light caramel, and honey. IrishBoy (2111), Bakersfield, California, USA Mar 23, 2007 Bottle from Ross; Barely cracked the cap and it foamed and foamed and I lost a third of the beer; hazy light amber with a huge but quick disapating head; Nose of grain and acetic acid nad a little caramel;
