3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a weak, watered- down yellow with a nose of aspartame and peach with a light oily hops presence. Flavor is orange hops with a touch of earthy malt sweetened by a light peach. Average mouthfeel. Good lawnmower beer, I’m sure.

The aroma is bread and hops. The flavor is bready with a good hoppiness to it that leads into a dry and lingeringly bitter finish. If this is considered a pale lager, which I wonder about because its so hoppy, this is the best I’ve ever had.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours polished pale yellow, mediocre head - I usually pour straight down to get what is there but this was not all that excited to be there - and mediocre lacing; the hype - bursting with hop-fueled taste? These guys brew Mayhem and Armageddon. Who do they think they are kidding? OK, not wild. Tart-ish and sem-dry; nose has hints of fruit and earth; medium body and slightly oily
Mayhem and Armageddon are hard acts to follow - especially in the IIPA starved desolation of the Long-ish White Cloud. But this is a decent Pale Lager. I’d call it a good session beer - there are trains home and lots of taxis
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours clean and clear. Nice head...doesn’t linger long though. Nice noble hop aroma. Taste is very malty and brady but the bitterness lingers just a touch...hangs around on the pallete. A nice beer but I prefer my lagers to demand me to take another swig. This does not do that. A tasty beer though.

Bottle 330ml at the Courthouse. Pretty good for a pale lager. Aromas of wet leaves, with hints of citrus. Taste starts sweet, with bitterness taking over for a long finish. Palate is oily, and medium bodied. Yellow, with a thin head.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not a great beer by any stretch but very good for a lager, and perhaps the best of the sty;e I’ve ever had. Not hoppy but the presence is felt. Very good balance throughout and the mild sweet malt edge is nice.

Another long distance for a beer to arrive at my mouth. Nice lager but not much better than a Yuengling. Pours a clear yellow with a mild bread and malt aroma. The flavor has the malt and bread of a lager with a nice hop balance. Not bad but not worth the money.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2012 500ml bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a crystal clear straw colour with a two finger white head that quickly dissapears. Aroma is fairly average. Hay, earth, citrus. Flavour is bursting with citrus and honey. Palate is thin. Easy drinkability. Not bad for a quaffer
