12 ounce can from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA, rated 4/29/10. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of grassy hops, caramel and grainy notes. The taste is grassy hops, toasted grain and a slightly metallic note. Thin-medium bodied.

Nice deep copper coloured body with a very thin, half a centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of light malt, cereal, caster sugar and a touch of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Chewy, malty flavour with some pungent cardboard, some funky yeast and some deep caramel malt tucked in. Aftertaste shows a slight amount of hops, some alcohol, some grass and herbal notes, but mostly a deep malt flavour that isn’t great nor bad - but I guess that’s good for the style!?! Overall, not a horrible beer, but decen tto sample with the can and all. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Village Market in San Francisco (Ferry Building), California on 15-January-2012 for US$1.49 sampled at home on the opposite coast in Washington on 16-February-2012.

This actually pours a hazy darker amber color with a thick tan head. Aroma smells like hay or straw...like the stuff you throw in a hamster or rabbit cage as bedding. Flavor is malty and follow suit with the aroma. Mouthfeel is light and a bit watery...finish is malty and sweet with a earthy/caramel note.

The cat is where its at nice surprise...not your average American Lager....nice color to it. Taste somewhere between a decent Octoberfest and Anchor Steam. Has a little bite to the taste. Would seek this one out again/

Can. Pours a hazy orange color with a small head. Grassy notes with a hint of malt. Dry taste with some grassy malt notes. Pretty decent for a can. I really liked this.

Date: December 10, 2011 Mode: Can Source: BVery Description: Orangish brown pour with minimal head and no lacing, hoppy and malty aroma and taste. Not too bad surprisingly.

Can. Wow - is this really a pale lager? Very impressive if the style bucket its in is reasonably accurate. Orange pour with a soapy white head. Sweet nose with a hint of caramel, yeast, and bread. Medium mouthfeel, but pretty darn smooth. Mild dark fruit, sweetness, and .... wow, I just can’t believe this is in the same style category as Bud Light.

(12oz can thanks to Cavie) clear rich gold-orange with big frothy tan head. Nose of sugar, celery, rye and wort. Taste of caramel, bread, brown sugar, unfermented beer, lots of residual sugar and malt here.

This seems okay with a pretty flavorful initial taste. Enjoy the sweetness, but I wish there was more bite.

(12oz can, courtesy of Cavie) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of musty old books, caramel, and grain. Flavor of grass, caramel, grain, and some butter.

goldish pour, offwhite head. aroma is buttery, toffee, metallic. Flavor haas buttered popcorn, peanuts, artificial sweetness...yuck. Thanks to D rowland for this one! Or should I say...NO THANKS! Hahaha.
