| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 7, 2007 On tap. Pours a filtered clear ruddy honey amber color with a well sustaining layer of fizzy white head. Aromas of biscuit, hay, and subtle notes of toffee. Clean grassy nose with a subtle breath of pear fruits. Light bodied, crisply carbonated, refreshing mouthfeel. Flavors of light biscuity malts combine with some husky grains and grassy hops. Substantial malt base considering the attenuation and drinkability. The hops fade rather quickly, giving it a bit of a muddled grainy finish. riversideAK (2685), Shoreline, Washington, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 4, 2007 Pours a medium dark amber, with no head. Light malt smell, very light. Very little hops. Better flavor than the 01, nice hop flavor up front with a crisp bitter finish. This could make a solid dinker of many in a row. CraftBC (4), Alameda, California, USA does not count | 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2007 Deep gold color matches the round, malty body. Hops marry well with the malt. Overall, a lovely lager. I wish more American breweries would try this challenging beer style. jgb9348 (2495), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 24, 2007 Light yellow coloured body with a nice white head and a bunch of bubbles. Aroma of wheat and malt with some light hops and barely anything else. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice malty flavour with some hops and very little else. Aftertaste shows more of the same with little aftertaste and harsh flavours. Overall, a good summer beer that was definitely worth trying. I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased from Sam’s Liquor in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 23-June-2007. SuzyGreenberg (1337), Seattle, Washington, USA
