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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oct 3, 2007 a really solid lager, leave it to full sail to pull this off. as you can see, it’s in the 93% in lagers, that’s good.
