A: Poured a honey yellow color with good carbonation and a nice white cap, bubbles and some lacing S: Some grains, grass and light bitterness on the nose T: Some bittering hops, with grains, tad bit of grass and floral notes, hint of honey and light bread M: Light to medium body, well carbonated O: Not to shabby, tasty, easy to drink

16-oz can. Pours a hazy, almost cloudy burnished pale amber with a dense and creamy white head that fades quickly away. Very mild nutty sweet brown bread nose. Creamy medium body with soft carb. Mild flavor profile with a soft finish. Surprisingly subdued.

Yellow and clear. Some good malt and straw flavor with a touch of hops. A nice lager that doesn’t try to hide the fact that it’s beer.

Clear pale yellow, thin white head. Aroma of mild hop and grain. Taste is the same. This beer drank pritty good.

Yep, tastes like an american style lager. Pre-Prohibition?......sounds like a marketing strategy....I don’t know what that means.....anyway, well played Fort George!

Pours hazy gold with a frothy 3 finger white head. Aroma seems more hoppy than bready. Med body. Flavor is nutty, bready noble hoppy. Not your standard modern yukky premium lager. Old ways seem to be the best ways.

A nice taste of West Coast beer history. It’s a Lager with a kick. Surprisingly heavy with a distinct flavor.

Pours a clear straw yellow - not inspiring, but at least the thick, fluffy white head is fairly persistent and leaves a little lacing. Aroma is malty, crisp and just a little fruity. Flavor is malty with a slightly sweet fruity underpinning and a little sharp and bitter tinniness; however, the flavor is mostly pleasant so I was able to get used to the less than pleasing component. Texture is thick, smooth and fairly fizzy. Finish is less bitter and more fruity. Maybe not the best I’ve had, but still worthy.

Draught@brewpub (Astoria, OR) as "1811 Bicentennial Lager"
Slightly hazy yellow color, small steady white head. Light fruity, a bit grainy-malty nose. Light-bodied. Hoppy, citrusy, orange-peely flavor. Quite hoppy pale lager. Nice unfiltered beer’s touch.

Great head. Not not too exhibit lager aroma, bu in the mouth it is something totally new. Smooth and drinkable it possEsses a wonderful peppery hop character which is balanced by an almost shandy-ish lemon fruitiness and long lasting richness. I think I’ll be buying a whole lot more of this.
