2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured with a deep golden color. Mousey small head that dissipated quickly. Aroma that of spicy hops web site lists Sterling as hops. Mild to noticeable amount of DMS in the aroma that came though in the flavor as well. Bright carbonation that gave a little bit of a bite to the beer, along with the listed 35 IBUs gave this beer a noticeable bitterness. Some spicy hop flavor appeared near the end of the bottle. Bready malt flavors came though with the 100% 2-row beer. DMS takes away from the flavor of a beer that otherwise would be a very drinkable beer.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Originally reviewed: 11/4/11. I have wanted to try this one for awhile, and now that Full Sail distributes to NC, I got that chance. Picked up a 6-pack at my local grocery. Poured the final one into a pint glass for review.
Pours a pale gold with a thin white head on top. Faint lacy rings cling to the glass. The nose is fresh and peppy, with floral hops and a big citrus aroma. Great crisp feel with a moderately high carbonation zip. Light buttery flavors meld with lemon zest and a flavorful hoppy finish. Faint peppery bite lings just a bit at each sip. This beer delivered. I dig it, and I’m glad I can get it locally now.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
