This beer pours a slightly cloudy golden color, with a thin white head. The head fades quickly, leaving a small puddle of head floating on the top. This beer has a sweet caramel malty aroma. I detect a slight citrus aroma as well. Nothing too strong, just a clean mild aroma. It also smells slightly grainy. This beer tastes much like it smells. Sweet malt upfront. It has a crisp, clean citrus flavor. A slightl grainy flavor is alsp present. This beer is crisp and refreshing. It goes down smooth, leaving a sweet malty aftertaste. This beer would probably make a great session beer. It is not too high in alcohol. Also, it has a nice mild flavor. Overall: Thanks go out to ggaughan for hooking me up with this beer.

I liked it. It's just your standard locally brewed lager - similar to Yuengling Lager here in PA, but I'd definitely buy it again. Nice color and flavor.

Copper hue with small frothy white head, good lacing. Heavy malty aroma of light bread, cereal, roasted grain, and caramel. Undertones of flowers, grass, dough, apple and a tiny hint of sour cherry. Sweet malt and tart/sour fruit initial taste, developed wheat like undertones on the finish. Light to medium-bodied, dry and fizzy mouthfeel and slight metallic feel. All in all, a respectable lager with some nice characteristics, the tart/sout aspect did shock me, you could do much worse.

I wasn’t expecting this to be very good, but I was wrong. Light amber colored with a small eggshell head. The aroma has some nice fruit notes initially, followed by some bready-malt-pilsner-like scents, with some mild caramel & toffee notes as well. Medium bodied, crisp, and excellent carbonation that is enough to tingle the tongue yet not get in the way of any flavors. Taste is sweet light malts up front, some light hop bitterness, followed by caramel, mild toffee, light fruity (hops or esters, I can’t tell) notes, and a tiny bit of lager yeast flavor. This is a great session beer.
