12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin short lived head, over a clear yellow body....nose is very light with mild hops....taste is mild, with slight malts, bit of corn chip flavors ending with mild hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light and somewhat watery. I think this is a little unbalanced to be true to the style, and overall seems to go towards the Euro lager type.

Bottle. Pours light gold with a fizzy, feeble head. Aroma of soft hops, and perhaps sweet corn. Flavor is somewhat bland, a mixture of pale malt, soft citrus, and a grassy finish. Wasn’t impressed, but at the same time, it wasn’t terrible.

Light aroma of sweet malts. Flavor was also very light, mainly sweet malts, caramel, and slight hops and alcohol in the finish.

Golden blonde pour into white foamy head that dissappears quickly. Melting lacings keep a small thin ring of bubbles at the top of the glass. A few carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of malty grain. Initial flavor of sweet malt fading into bitter piney hoppiness.

Pours a white head and a golden body... head not long lasting. Aroma is probably the weak-point of this beer. It smells like a cheap European lager... quite grainy almost like a Heineken. Taste has some hops up front, with a modicum of bitterness. Grainy malts taste is there as well, along with a sweet note or two. Taste is fine for the most part... easy enough to drink, but one would expect better from Flying Dog.

12oz bottle. Poured a pale golden with a finger of bubbly white head that did not last. Smells of light malt and water, nothing special here. Taste is rather bland. Light malt with a water backbone, not alot of flavor. This beer is missing a lot.

Clear golden with a small white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma with some floral notes. Medium sweet and sleightly bitter flavor.
