| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 20, 2008 A fantastic drinker that has qualities of both a great full bodied lager and a full flavored ale. Truly one of a kind, and tended to with love. edden (927), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 19, 2008 7/11/08: Bottle. Burnt orange body with hints of yellow around the edges. Fresh aroma which flirts with freshly cut grass. Flavor of honey and wheat. Finish is slightly sweet. HoppyGuy (111), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours an orange/copper color wih a near-white head. Aroma is sweet with malts, but not overwhelmingly so. Fairly malty taste with a dose of corn flavor and a fairly decent balance of hops. Mouthfeel is a bit mushy for my preference. Overall, not a bad brew, but I won’t rush out to buy more of it. RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 17, 2008 12oz bottle. Aroma: Caramel, bread dough, cooked corn. Appearance: Amber in color and clear. Off-white head was medium sized and foamy with fair retention. Not much lacing. Flavor: Bready and grainy maltiness, caramel, earthy hoppiness. A bit of cooked vegetable. Light bitterness. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: Maybe it’s just me, but there was too much of a corn aroma/flavor in this for me. Gooney (57), Oregon, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2008 12 oz bottle from New Seasons - It had a quickly disappearing head, but it also had a nice, full color for a lager. Good smooth summer beer and a great lager. It makes me want to mow the lawn so I can have another one. BallyLoser (134), Redmond, Washington, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Sweet and hoppy. Nice golden colour, decent summer brew. Not a strong alcohol taste. pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA

Semi clear amber with a decent white head and some lacing. Smell is sweet dough - almost like sourdough bread. Flavor is sweet and almost hoppy but yet has this ammonia hint to it that I am not a big fan of. Medium gauze-like mouthfeel. GAManiac (1149), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 10, 2008 Pours a crystal clear, bubbly golden amber with a very small white head that actually hold on for quite a while around the edges. Lacing is minimal. The aroma is fairly heavy on the sweet caramel malts with a bit of toasted grain in the background. There is a minimal citrus hop whiff as it warms. The taste is a bigger version of the smell with a big malt sweetness up front with toasted malts and grains in the middle that leaves a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. I also got a little bit of nuts in the finish. Mouthfeel is light, but much creamier than most lagers I’ve had with strong carbonation. This is a really well crafted lager and makes for a great summer brew.
