JCB (2911) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - OCT 28, 2011
12oz bottle from Sam’s, Durham. Now this one is far better than the other lagers I’ve had in this series. Clear gold pour with a moderate carbonation and prickly head to it. Nose is dry and understated for the most part, with hints of noble hops, some malts for balance, and an herbal, citric finish. This proves to be an accurate foretaste of the flavors in this nice solid dry pils, which has flashes of real brightness, and is consistently sessionable.

Superior, Co. - Superior Liquors - 12 oz bottle - Oregon-Colorado game tailgate. Brilliant dark gold pour, sticky off-white head with plenty of lacing. Earthy, buttery aroma. Flavor is crisp with some buttery notes, a bit of nuttiness and some grainy notes. Crisp mouthfeel. Decent.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 20, 2011
Clear golden yellow with a two finger fluffy slowly decomposing bone cap. Aroma is sweet, grassy and noble with a light floralness to it as well. Taste is sweet and very dry with honey, noble hops, dusty malt and a mild bitter finish.

OD40oz (705) - Box Elder, South Dakota, USA - OCT 17, 2011
Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Very clean tasting. Nice crisp finish. Nothing special but this would hit the spot on a hot day.

JoeMcPhee (6819) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 14, 2011
Pale straw colour with a tight white head. The aroma is fairly clean and crisp with a nice kiss of noble hoppiness. There is also a lovely kiss of herbal noble character. A little bit of light grassiness in addition to the pale pilsner malt. A touch of fresh grassiness as well. There is a little bit of DMS initially that I could probably do without, but it’s pretty nice stuff.

arminjewell (2442) - Parker, Colorado, USA - OCT 5, 2011
Pours clear yellow with lively carb, nice lasting white head. Aroma is a bit nondescript, notes of some grain, grass, biscuity sweetness, with a slight hint of earth. Taste is much better, with a very nice balanced mix of bitter grass and earth, some nice sweet biscuit, even a slight fruity note, going into a nice slightly bitter, earthy, even floral dry finish. Nicely done.
