| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 4, 2007 An almost amber pour with the aroma of sweet corn that is just a little past it’s prime. A semi sweet malty flavor goes quickly to a bit of a bitter. And just a hint of warmth as well.To me the palate is super strong for the style. Carbonation is excellent. A very pleasant drinker I was surprised at how much it reminded me of an amber ale. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2007 12oz bottle thanks to IrishBoy. Really nice fresh nose of oily honey and crisp hay and grains. Moderately thick but not heavy, with a syrupy honey and whole wheat bread flavor. Finishes snappy and crisp. Very good lager, something that Full Sail always seems to do well. Wulfstan (509), California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 30, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2007This is a very nice, fairly full-bodied pale lager with good flavour. It is amber with a thin white head that dissipates steadily to leave a thin ring. The aroma is malt and grain, like a more basic good pale lager but stronger and richer. The taste is similar, more malty, a bit sweet, little bitterness but some tang, faint fruitiness, and a biscuit-grain finish. Agian, it’s like a standard good pale lager but more fuill-bodied, flavourful, and a bit more fruity. It has a fuller, richer palate. Smooth, tasty, and easily drinkable, this is a very nice, very satisfying beer for this job. phobos1031 (71), Paradise, Nevada, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 24, 2007 12oz bottle. pours pretty creamy and looks very copper in color. not what i would expect for a "lager"doesn’t look or taste like a lager. more like an ale. slightly cloudy pale copper color. fruity, barely hoppy aroma. grass and slightly cinnamon smell. smooth with a tiny hop bite about 3/4 through the palate stage.
very smooth and pretty tasty flavor, but not what i would consider "lager" by any stretch of the imagination. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2007 The beer pours an orange like amber with a monstrous creamy light tan head that slowly evaporates leaving a fine concealing sheet upon the glass. Sweet malt nose, almost fruity, clean and fresh, hints of caramel, more ale like than a lager, with the top medium to full. Finish once again has an ale like acidity, the hops delectable, sweetness lingers long in the dry aftertaste, a good easy drinking beer, and glad I bought a six pack. shakespeare33 (120), san diego, California, USA
